mooney102 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 This is a winter snow scene that I am working on. Any comments would be helpful. I can not seem to figure out how to get snow on the trees(proxys) in max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Altieri Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 looks great, i think a more blue balance in colours will looks better, the yelow colour balance looks good near to the house (artificial lighting) but not on the places iluminated only with the skylight... i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jophus14 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 It might look nice to add some smoke out of the chimney. It'll give it that brisk-winter night feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbowers Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I love the "feel", perhaps some ice cycles on the gutters and some more unevenness on the roof tops and ground (think snow drifts) I see a lot of that here in Nebraska. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkletzien Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I think that's exactly what the top/bottom material is for...describing the top material as snow...and leaving the bottom as the original material. That said I haven't ever used it, just need more clients to go for a snow scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeilveen Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Like the scene already, very nice. Little details like the footsteps and car tracks makes this lovely. Well done. I was just wondering to put in some distant haze or level fog to give it a more gloomy atmosphere, dont know, could ruine the colours as well.

John Martin Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Why not try a particle emitter to rain down on the original Onyx mesh (not the proxy) and then once you get what you need export the tree and the snow as a proxy. Don't forget to apply the materials prior to exporting the proxy mesh. I saw someone do something similar in AU this year. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horhe Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I recomend giving a bit of blue tint - colorise the image in photoshop - as you know snow absorbs light and reflects it - during a winters night the bluish dark sky is scattered through the snow making the image colder than it is here. To give the image a more nightly effect and feel add some contrast and decide on the areas that you want to have brighter - eg. under the street lamps and light blooming out of the windows of the building. Unless you plan to place a moon in the image, crop the image and make it more landscape than portrait that'll cause the eye of the viewer to focus more on the details and whats more important. Most importantly - pase a snoman inside the render. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
