Looks really good, only crit would be that some of the snowy edges appear slightly darkened towards the ocean...almost like a "drop shadow"??

Simple snowflakes eh? I´ve been tinkering with making snow like this for a different project lately ( hey, it´s almost christmas and everyone want animated christmas cards, right? ).

Are you using multiple particle passes as snow? If so and you have the chance i would love to see one of the isolated passes!

Nice work, keep it up :magnify:

It's just the MAX default blizzard system. Cranked up to 100000 flakes w/ motion blur on, The cam is looking into it (actually just inside of the blizzard edge.)

There is also a little wind binding to the blizzard to blow towards the cam.

Attached is the max file.

Wooh, quick reply!

Thanks for the screengrab, looks very interesting and especially seeing how the particle system uses clusters of tri´s to make depth and volume...hm...need to play with emitter models some more...
