Snow Matte Painting with Particle Simulation

[Rockhoppermedia]

I am playing with combustion at the moment, it has steep learning curve. I am trying to convince work to buy it. Though after effects feels natural to me as I am a photoshop professional. I like the snow effect.


I would have done it slighty differently but you said you had limited time. I would have foregound particle then in 3d create a matte of the house with separate layers and mattess for the wall, roof, rear garden and placed in particle layers this will show depth and given cutoff points for the snow to go somewhere. A really cool particle effect i noticed in Golden Compass is the snow om the ground eddying up with updrafts and wind.

You missed a trick also if you had put a light in a window and did a z depth move it would look really cool, but hindsight and time is awonderful thing.

Looks cool (no pun intended)

Have fun

Rich.
