Brycetech: Fire and Ice Part 3

Snow

To create this snow effect, you will need to download the snow material.  This material is a Bryce 4 material.
If you do not have Bryce 4, set the settings in the Material Lab similar to the settings below.  Start with the preset material "Cave Wall" in the "Rocks and Stones" category of the Preset Library.

Creating snow is actually a very simple process.  To create the fallen snow, simply create your scene then select all of the objects in the scene and group them.
Next duplicate the group and raise it very slightly along the Y axis.
Apply the snow material to this duplicate group.  This will give the illusion of snow accumulation on your objects.
To add to the effect, you can apply a sky setting that will give the appropriate atmosphere.  The preset sky "A Midsummer Afternoon" doubles quite nicely as a setting for snow.
To create the effect of falling snow, see the Rain tutorial of this site.  There you can download a material to help simulate the effect of falling snow.

Go to part2 of the Fire and Ice tutorial.


Site Note:

To see another snow tutorial, see Planet 3D's tutorial on the subject.

This is not meant to be an all inclusive instruction on every possible way to have made the final image or produce the desired results.   Bryce offers zillions of wonderful ways to replicate, multireplicate, reposition, etc.  in its powerful interface. Experiment!
