This is just a short, and quite low resolution animation that I have been messing around with to try and get to grips with animating multiple parameters. I used cloud for the falling snow and one variation of my snow shaders set(available in file sharing forum).

I've only really ever animated one or two parameters at a time before when I've played around in TG, like cloud warp settings or sun behind clouds etc. I thought it was about time I got stuck in and learneded myself something! :D

It doesn't look much, and it's short, but for me(and my poor computer) it was quite the task! I wanted to see how my snow shaders piled up over time. I'm happy at how they work, I wish I could make it longer and bigger(Ohhh, Matron!) but, I guess that'll have to wait until I'm somewhat richer. This was over 16 hours rendering 300 frames. :( Not including an extra 70 frames that were binned and re-rendered due to a nasty, sharp altitude constraint I had set up first time round.

Anyway, be gentle, I've never really taken a serious attempt at TG anim' before. The ground covering is a little abrupt.

And, thanks for looking! :)

Wow, that's remarkably effective! I'm impressed.

This really, really cool, dandel0! The falling snow is excellently done. Never seen anything like it, so get yourself another computer and render away at a long movie...

the piling-up snow is really impressive.

That looks really cool!
The pile-up of the foreground section is a bit fast, but else it is really convincing :)

Hannes

Wow, incredible! This is really fantastic!

Really cool stuff. ::) I like the intersection shift test also.

snow in the middle of spring! (for me)
that was cool, seeing the snow pile up & down looked interesting

Henry, the intersection shifting is exactly the same frames as the first part of the video, just speeded up and reversed to better show the actual pile-up moving up and down as more intersection is added. :)

Cheers again, folks! :)
