Bring Metro UI of Windows 8 to your browser

Like many fans of windows 8, I’m so excited to touch the Metro UI of windows 8. But at this moment, the only way to experience is downloading the Beta Preview version of Windows 8. And for some reasons, I’m too lazy to do that. But that’s not the end of the way, ‘cause we still have some things to work around this problem. The first thing I do is create a Metro style desktop start page by using Rain Meter. And finally I think I can feel satisfied for this try:

Create a realistic rain effect

A few months ago I created a Rain Tutorial: Ronin but I wasn’t convinced with the final result and wanted to create a better-looking effect. After some research and using: noise, motion blur, custom brushes and blending modes we can create a great final result and the effect is surprisingly easy to achieve.
