Top Down Rain Assets?

Bit of an odd one but ran into the need on an indie feature a couple years back. We had a camera angle looking straight down at the ground and actors in a scene where they requested rain to be added. I haven’t found anything from anyone that offers that angle. So just some options of rain falling from that angle and if possible, top-down rain impacts? whether that’s more of a splash or darkening the ground layer, the more options the better!

Bullet Hits High On Wall w/ Debris Falling To Ground Plane

One of the biggest issues we run into with stock elements is debris falling out of frame, or debris landing on the ground two feet below the wall impact. We are always looking for elements in which a bullet hits a wall (various angles), falls 8-10 feet, and lands on a ground plane. This would be useful in shots where the exterior facade of a building is being shot at, which comes up a lot in war and shootout scenes. Thanks! :)

'Cumulative' Displaced/Lingering Environment Dust

Example: the exterior facade of a building is being shot up by a machine gunner, each bullet hit on the facade throws out it’s own localized dust/debris/smoke, but because they’re obviously separate elements, the individual puffs of dust do not add up into a larger cloud of lingering dust in front of the building, that kinda lingers in the air after the shooting stops. The closest elements I’ve seen that could work for this are the Isolated Fog and Displaced Fog, but the problem with those is that all the smoke/fog is either blown into frame from the side, is emitted from a single source as a burst, or is already expanded and lingering in the air. This makes it very difficult to make it look like the smoke cloud has been built up from many sources. I’m wondering if you could make some large lingering fog clouds that emit from different sources over time, and accumulate into a single larger cloud. I’m imagining a black environment, with a few fog machines behind the back black wall and facing camera so they can emit fog forward (toward camera) into the area in front of the black backdrop. Maybe three or four fog machines along the bottom of frame, each of which gently injects some fog into the scene in a random order over time. This element, in additional the individual bullet hits, would create a more global kicking up of fog that increases as the building gets shot up, but is not blowing in from the side, or animating it’s scale to appear to be growing. For bonus points. Some fog machines could be staggered across the back wall, some high up, some lower down. Short bursts of fog/smoke would act as bullet hits, and the lingering fog from each source would combine nicely. (Sorry, this is a weirder request! Hope it makes sense lol) Thanks!!

Impact Debris Moving AWAY From Camera

Think specifically of elements such as Exploding Debris Vol. 2 and Ground Bursts. We have many cases of bullets being fired from behind camera, which would cause debris to fly forward (away from camera). I’ve noticed that little-to-no elements have debris moving this way, which can make some of these debris packs no worth purchasing.
