Hi,

I'm coming up to a project that will require falling snow. It's a simple scene showing a house with snow falling from the sky, just a simple winters day.

I will have max and after effects to play around with to create something photo realistically convincing. Anyone faced a similar task in the past that would like to share a little insight? Any good tutorials out there? or just any thoughts or suggestions?

so far what i've tried and seen elsewhere fails to look very realistic, so there must be a simple solution to pulling off the effect?

Cheers in advance - Dave.

Hi,
there are Snow and Blizzard Particle Systems in Max.
(Create menu > Particles > Snow or Blizzard)
Have you tried these particle systems in your work?

Yeah, that's the setup i've been testing with, to be honest i was over complicating the task by creating modelling snowflakes when in fact a simple material with noise work far better.

cheers.
