Snow generator

Hi guys,
I feel like I’ve seen a topic like this before but search doesn’t find anything. Is there a way to easily create snow over an exterior scene? Some houses with gardens.
Tried a simple generator I found online but it gave weird results on some objects and I would have to apply it to each object separately. Also tried a tutorial with particle systems but it was incredibly slow on a test scene, so it would be impossible on the real one I guess. This isn’t a client request so I never modeled the scene covered with snow, but more of an idea that I would like to try in case there is a rather quick and simple way. Non free plugins are also an option if they deliver. I found one but not sure if it does entire scenes, and saw no user comments about it so skipped it for now.

Thanks in advance

There is polysnow and snowflow, but i wouldnt expect either to be a simple one click and done solution.

If it was for a personal project i’d personally have a crack with tyflow, but thats definitely not the quick or easy route.
There’s also forest pro - https://www.itoosoft.com/tutorials/m…th-forest-pack
if you dont have frost you can use the tymesher from tyflow for free.

Cool thank you for your suggestions. I’ll check them out. Hopefully there’s a workflow video somewhere so I see what they do.
