Title: Trying to Create realistic Snow 2018 V.10.2.40
Post by: Michelh on July 18, 2018, 02:47:05 AM
This is one of these nights where I cannot sleep. Rather than watch TV and not be productive I decided to try recreating snow with some light reflection. I also made a simple road from a material I made in substance painter. Feedback is as usual always welcome

I am not sure if u need more stuff there. Perhaps a different POV? Some dead trees?
Can u post a bigger render. I cannot see this one very well.

Ok I shall remove some of the rocks and try to get a better angle for the camera, thanks. Oh maybe just complete snow where the road was before .

Good luck! I like the snow-look already. Curious where this goes. :)

The road may look decent if it's stretched out to look like a road more, and maybe if you try using the "smoothing" effect of the surface layer, or mask out some of the detail so it looks more like a compressed road with snow on it.

Thanks for the feed back here is a different view of the landscape I also removed a few of the details and totally took the road out of the scene.

Totally redid the rocks on this picture. I don't know if the ones before looked better but to me this version looks better, as always feedback is always welcome.

Looking better and better. Have you tried playing with offset displacement on the snow layer to give it some deepness?

Like the last version. Agree with WASasquatch to try the offset displacement. I would also try to see how the picture look with more sky on top.
Do you need help to render it out in high-res? My workstation is not very busy these days :D

Thanks for the tips I tried it and here is the result I don't know if it is super visible.
Archonforest thanks for the help,  I might need it one day lol but I feel like the scene is not big enough to ask for more computers. I will also do a render with more sky.

That is very pretty. I like how the snow is hanging in the pocket areas.

Can't decide if I like the terrain or the clouds better. Well done! :)
