winter storm - ladyjaye - 04-18-2006

here is a couple of shots I did, not a huge storm but small enough to represent snow.

I actually built a separate "snow" layer in photoshop with an alpha channel.

But I took it and animated motion in after effects as an animatic, it came out real nice.

Thanks very much for sharing this... but what are you doing still working with V1?


Snow - Harborth - 04-19-2006

When met with a similar situation (back in V1 days), I created small FF snowflakes using the sphere and sizing down. Then I randomly elevated them, keeping them all in the same horizontal plane. What I ended up with in essense was a sheet of snowflakes that i just put in front of the camera, almost as if you were using a filter. If a shot needed a greater sense of depth, I just duplicated the snow wall and layered them. It's not as tedious as it sounds, and I found it very useful. I've attached a sample.

If you were to go the After Effects route, you do have a couple of options which would give you exactly what you are after. The plugin Trapcode Particular or similar would give you the following sort of result; and this can be easily animated too.
