Particle Playground on Ice
Christmas are coming so it’s about time I show you how to create nice snow that will stick to the layers that you have in your composition.
While shooting footage for this tutorial Georges butt almost fell of because of the very low temperature. But hey… we’ll do anything for all of you boys and girls watching ours tutorials. Thankfully after drinking 10 cups of hot tea everything was back to normal.
In this experiment George and I will show you how you can create a snow falling from the sky. And if that wasn’t enough we are going to show you how to make the snow stick to the rooftops, cars standing on the streets, logos, or even actors in your footage.
And we even have a small challenge for you. After watching this tutorial try to create a custom shaped snowflake particle, or even few snowflake shapes.
Make sure to see the related tutorial: Particle Playground on Fire

I wonder if you came up with it just for Christmas or you needed that in your Bruteforce project?

Actually… I’m a flash developer also, and I used to do things like that when I was playing around, and the ideas for Particle Playground on Fire and Particle Playground on Ice came from my very old experiments, just like one of my first tutorials - Oily Stratum, that was also inspired by flash.

Hey Maltaannon,
Thanks for everything. I like how in most of these tutorials, and I mean tutorials in general off of creative cow and what not, the creators always seem to think they are comedians.
what wit, I do prefer one liners so if you watch some Mitch Hedberg it will save time on the witty banter that I do so much enjoy.
