Lookin good!
Although I think that the snow flakes need work.
They look too big.

the snow looks good, but slightly out of focus. Like motion blur on the whole picture and not just the flakes...

The rain doesn't look convincing to me. more like a lot of little bump in your car. Sorry, but the rain is not good for me.

great work!
Not to bad critic, but i think your car raindrops are not convincing yet, in size, scatter, and maybe in lack of "pending raindrops?"
I've found wet cars pics refs that could help you:

And thanks for the inspiration

Hey, guys. thanks.

yes, snowy scene is motion blured.

snowfall is rendered motion blured but I've motion blured a whole image in photoshop.

And raindrops are not modeled, it's weightmapped one which downloaded in mxm site. :wink:

Some great snow scenes

Some really great snow scenes here. I just walked through trees covered with that frosty snow the other day and I wondered how I would render it. Nice Job. That rain scene would have been very difficlut. I do not think that the snow flakes are too big. This looks like very wet snow.

Give us a tutorial on how you did this some time eh??

Thank you very much, creasia.

but sorry, no tutorial. :wink:

just can say that,

about snowy tree, I used tree model file and push modifier applied and delete bottom polygons with ignore backfacing option.

and most of snow and raindrop material is downloaded mxm site.

I have some mistake to make this snow materials.

you can see the different of ground snow and tree snow. :lol:

tree snow is more white than ground and car snow. :cry:

ground and car snow has displacement mapping.

and used physical sky without sun + 1 emitter.

snowflakes are made with scatter and motin blured.

I first tried it with particle flow but I couldn't get the motion blured image.

so I just used scatter.

that's all. it's very simple. :)
