Title: Blizzard, 100% more trees, 40% less visibility
Post by: Zylot on December 01, 2009, 09:12:33 AM
Trying to take that snow thing up to the next level.  What I ended up with I think, is the most realistic representation of an actual blizzard:

You can't see ----!

So, more work must be done, in the meanwhile, enjoy the whiteout.

Very good representation. It sort of reminds me of the snow/blizzard in "Rudolph the Red Nosed Raindeer" the animation.

2nd try, not liking it as much as the first, clearly, going in the wrong direction.

actually i like the second one as much of the first one, i can see more of the background and the ground surface underneath the snow. :)

i find if u "up" the render quality the effect disappears, done a load of these but cant get that "big flake" type.
Lots of models perhaps wont need a hi quality render that is if a tree that has snow modeled on it, like i done over in ashundar will work.
BTW anyone got a yeti model?

Hi terrade, perhaps the above post was meant for a different thread?

Tis the season.

So, I think these guys would look pretty good hanging off of one of those lonely frozen trees.

tried that too...hell of a job placing them things on a B box..best thing to do is take it to a mdeling program, but there again we need some lights

I shouldn't have too much trouble, got 5 of the gold bumpy ones placed well.  It's a smaller tree so it's not too hard.  Light, on the other hand...   I dunno how I'll do that, my modeling skills leave alot to be desired, and I wouldn't force the job on anyone else.

If anyone wants to whip me up a quick Star, however ;)

Here's something a bit star-like. it's in .DXF - hope you can read that. I meant to convert it to .OBJ, but it seems my installation of Blender doesn't have the right script.

I'll have to install blender, thanks.

Hi Zylot, I managed to get Blender exporting correctly, so here it is. You can ignore the warnings re the MTL file. Also attached is a pic.

Here you go. Don't worry about the spikes, I put those in to make it sparkly. You'll have to add your own golden Reflective Shader because Anim8or didn't export the one I made.
