zwischendrin has released SnowFlow v1.6. It is a 3D Studio Max plugin that creates realistic snow with ease! Apeerantly all you need to do is pick an object and SnowFlow does the snow for you!

Takes out all the fun of modeling all that snow! =(
You might have a point there… but then you can do the snow and have fun with other things 🙂
Why not remodel resulting mesh and add/sculpt even more definition :]
Hah Pawel you are everywhere 😀
I knew that Zbrush at work could be handy… You can use it to add footsteps with foot decals, animals steps etc…
We thought that this might sound interesting to you, guys: If you buy it before Monday, 15 February 2010, 10:30am (CET), you will now get more than 15% off! 🙂
Cheers!
wow, thats incredible!!!
wish I saw that yesterday to get the discount :S, but will get it anyway!
The youtube videos don’t work for some reason… so i replaced the image above with a real photo of a snowed down bench! if you can recreate this with the plugin, do share it with us.
The smaller image… I thought it was a render 😀
Maybe its because of the lighting, or that all the background elements are super sharp.
Nearly crapped my pants on the photo of the bench that I now see is a real photo.
Ha Ha Ha … Perhaps I really should change it back to the actual render example. It was kind of a challenge call…
