Snow

[TheSpleen]

In my new video I need it to lightly snow.

Any ideas on the best way to do this?

Sprites maybe?

[John Bigboote]

Here is a clip from a spot where I used a 'sprite' for 3D snow with forces blowing it about. I originally tried a cheezy snow generator in After Effects but because of the camera move it looked quite 2-dimensional. I was very pleased with the 3D results I got in A:M

would you perhaps share the sprite and settings?

Gene do a search on the forum upper right sprites work and streaks depends on what effect you want not at home but some projects posted earlier

I used particle streaks for this snow

 

the key to making the snow flutter is to put a force, with turbulence added, at the side to add some variety to the streak's motion as they fall.

Your lucky I had a free morning. I will upload the project file and assets (In the Contributors Cue forum) that I just used to make THIS movie: I hope you find it useful.

Hey I'm looking for that snow prj in Contributors Cue and I get redirected back here! Is it there somewhere?

[MJL]

HI Gerry,

 

You can get the snow HERE

[Gerry]

When I load it it asks for a snow.tga item that's not in the zip file.

[TheSpleen]

I used the flake.tga from johnL3d in the beginning of post

[Gerry]

You mean where he suggests doing a forum search? I don't understand.

[TheSpleen]

I just tried uploading it here but it wont let me

[Gerry]

Yeah, you can't upload tga's to the forum. If you have the snow.tga could you just email it to me? gerrymooney(at)earthlink(dot)net. Thanks! I would like to do snow in AM this year instead of faking it with AfterEffects.

[jakerupert]

upload it as zip file

[TheSpleen]
