Snow Storm in Cinema 4d

[AdamT]

I'd use particles with some wind and turbulance effectors.

[bcbarnes]

Particles would be the way to go - PyroCluster could probably come up with some thick snow cloud like effects from the particles. You might check in that direction.

[sanfranguy]

snow that would also rest on top of an object would make for a very nice scene.

I'll look into that for you this afternoon and post update later.

thinking partikels is a ad on module on cinema4d - node based programming

takes some time to get into it, but gives you a lot of features - probable more than u need - I think the normal standard particles schould do

i already created a scene with snow covered mountains and looks beautiful to me, only the snow storm isnt there :)

i tried it with particles, but they stay round as the emitted objekt, i dont get this "blizzard"-like look.

thank you for the very fast replies :)

[sanfranguy]

I created a scene for you, you can have it. But I have nowhere to host it.

Maybe I can send it over to you.

Let me know

[Ikari]

this would be very very nice from you, though i could study the technique you used! if you want to you can send it to

momma_punch@gmx.net

per e-mail

big thx to you

:applause:

I've posted it at the C4D forums.

I'm pressed for time today, but you can download it there.

Consider joining too. It's a very helpful and good community.

ph33r squid...dont know how he did it, i think it was PS post effects...but, could give you an idea

[JIII]

yea i am pretty sure squid does it in post.

but good luck I don't honestly know if this has ever been done in C4D.

I don't think so though.

[JIII]

did you want animated snow or just for a still ?

[Kotayus]

Im no squid but this isnt bad for a small attempt...its animated, but the animation was jumpy, so i just rendered a frame...

Nothing spectacular, but you can see with some rotation, turbulence or wind deformers that it could do something nice...i also like the fact that its not a solid color...it has some color depth to it...though leave it to someone else to make something thats actually image worthy :D

[Ikari]

hi again

yes i exactly thought it like squid has it in his mech artwork.

the problem with the one safranguy did is that i havent got pyrocluster :( i only have advanced renderer and bodypaint 1, didnt have money for more modules.

the snow would be for a still, surely coul dbe done in photoshop or PSP. but i'm not that expert in both (nor in c4d ;) )

[sanfranguy]

My own version of snow, if you want to have a look.
