In my new video I need it to lightly snow.
Any ideas on the best way to do this?
Sprites maybe?
Full Version: Snow
Here is a clip from a spot where I used a 'sprite' for 3D snow with forces blowing it about. I originally tried a cheezy snow generator in After Effects but because of the camera move it looked quite 2-dimensional. I was very pleased with the 3D results I got in A:M

would you perhaps share the sprite and settings?
Gene do a search on the forum upper right sprites work and streaks depends on what effect you want not at home but some projects posted earlier

play with the settings once you get the snow

I used particle streaks for this snow
the key to making the snow flutter is to put a force, with turbulence added, at the side to add some variety to the streak's motion as they fall.

Your lucky I had a free morning. I will upload the project file and assets (In the Contributors Cue forum) that I just used to make THIS movie: I hope you find it useful.

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey I'm looking for that snow prj in Contributors Cue and I get redirected back here! Is it there somewhere?
When I load it it asks for a snow.tga item that's not in the zip file.
I used the flake.tga from johnL3d in the beginning of post
You mean where he suggests doing a forum search? I don't understand.
I just tried uploading it here but it wont let me
Yeah, you can't upload tga's to the forum. If you have the snow.tga could you just email it to me? gerrymooney(at)earthlink(dot)net. Thanks! I would like to do snow in AM this year instead of faking it with AfterEffects.
upload it as zip file
