Hello, I'm trying to create a 2D raincloud effect.  It is basically like the one you see on the weather channel or their website.  A top-down 2D view with areas color coded to rain intensity.  I'm still fairly new to MDX so I was wondering what the accepted method might be for this?  I've created small test ...
