How can I achieve a water dripping down on person's face,is there a plugin?

Hi guys,
Is there any water/sweat dripping effect that I can use in FCP along with the rain effect that I have to give it a wet look, water dripping down the person's face?
Or, is there any other way to achieve that look in FCP?
Anyone please,
Thanks,

Zia

Hey Zia - I can't think of any plugins that would do this. Moreover, I've written plugins and I can't think of a way to even come close to faking such a thing...

good luck,

Patrick

If the persons face is still it could be possible to animate a shape and then use that as an 'idisplace' to try and give a bit of refraction.

How about shooting a drip on green on the same 3D shape as the face to get the reflections? Maybe use coloured gel? then you could combine both the displace and the highlights.

Or how about a reshoot in the rain LOL!
