Snow scene

[sine_mare]

It was originally made without snow... but client wanted badly snow scene for holidays...

it was everything about compositing...and timeframe was veeery short...

anyhow, c&c are more then welcome.

Cool! I like the airborn snow a lot, the other snow needs more tiny speckles/sparkles...IMO
Good work

I like the illustrative, cartoony look. My only coment is that the black sky and the background is too prominent. Adding some distance white fog might help + adding some more snow

@voltron7
great idea about sparkles! actually it's my first snow scene so I need constructive advices

@zoranm

Looks great!

How did you make the snow on the ground? ...and I guess if it´s on the ground it should also be on the buildings too.

actually it's only on the ground...since buildings are white and it's the only shot, i've placed snow only on the road and sidewalk/grass...

Snow on the ground is tweaked smoke map in bump slot.

It is a good start. The snowdrops look pretty convincing. The snow really needs glittering highlights, that will certainly add much to the realism. Also, I would add a bit more contrast to the lighting, for example the street lights should only illuminate nearby snowdrops.

Nice start. Dont forget though, theres no snow without clouds..and it almost looks like a clear night from the look of the black sky. A lot of gi is created with a snow scene because of the reflective nature of the snow and clouds combined.
