BradRegier Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Hi. I'm wondering if there's a tutorial that would show me how to make realistic snow like in the "Paulie Mouse" film on the Hash website. I found a link to a tutorial in Sherwood's Forest once, but the link was disabled somehow. Any other resources? Thanks, bRaD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnl3d Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 do a search on snow..top of forum next to help upper right you might want to use sprites instead http://johnl.inform.net/pages/thesnow.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-grid Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I am making it up as I go, so I don't know if it's do-able...but for realistic snow the next approach may apply. Use snow-flake geometry, add a bone, tell bone don't go below Y-axis 0, use newton-dynamics for the weight and add some wind-generators and probably flocking can save you the enormeous amount of work... Some inner-voice tells me already it's not do-able... If it does work, you may want to use cloth and deflectors, to prevent the snowflakes going through things you don't want...

BradRegier Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 Cool. Thanks. (Isn't Newton new to v13 though? I'm still in v12.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-grid Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 The Newton-physics started as downloadable plug-in, I know it was available for download to spice v12. I think it is the spider-guy site, from Austria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodguy20k Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I wish I had seen that website before the deadline for the image competition.... Here's the snowflakes from my entry. Just randomness. Point being, you don't have to work too hard to get something believable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-grid Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 A picture of a lathed 3D shuriken('Ninja-star') will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
