Anyone have any tips, tutorials, and/or recommendations on how to model snow (like on a rooftop, not the shader). Thick fluffy cartoony snow in particular.

I'm working in Maya but I'm sure I can xfer the technique if based on another package

using polys, simply select the roof polys copy and paste jsut them in place ina new object, or break them, either way.bevel/extrude em out a couple of times, crumple the surface slightly at each extrude then smooth the resulting snow mesh.

Sounds like a good approach. I tried using a NURBS plane and using the sculpt tool which didn't work out too well.

I'll give your idea a try.

Cheers
