In this lesson, you can use the CC Rainfall effect to add rain to this illustration. Now if you’re following along from the previous lesson, you can keep working in that same file that added the lightning. However, if you’re just joining, start from Folder 2 of the Chapter 3 folder of the exercise files. Here there are two After Effects project files. The AEP file is for those using the 2018 Creative Cloud version of After Effects and the AEPX file can be imported into earlier versions of After Effects.

And so, once you have this file open, you'll see that I…have files imported into here in the project panel.…There's a folder called linked art,…which contains a series of png files.…And we also have a composition here…and this composition is placed as a layer…inside of the Kaiju project composition.…So we can have compositions inside of other compositions.…And we talked about this in the previous lesson,…
