			<content type="html"><![CDATA[@ Littlebrick: Squirlz can do falling water, static water and falling snow, but not static snow. That's where your method comes in.

A little tip for using Squirlz (or AE)... don't just add one snow layer, as the result looks like a single, thin layer of snow falling between the scene and your camera. Instead, use several. Have some of the selection areas intersect the ground (so that some of the snow actually appears to be hitting the ground). And as the layers get (supposedly) farther and farther from the camera, make them more blurry and transparent with smaller flakes and a slower speed to give the illusion of distance.

It takes a lot of tweaking to get it to look right, but when you do, the results are FAR better than a single pass.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Squrlz? Really? I thought that was only used for water. Personally, I'd try using some powdered sugar, normal sugar, or salt, assuming that the snow has already fallen. You'd have to be careful not to bump the set, or touch the snow at all, but it would look great if you could pull it off.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[It's getting close to the Christmas Season, and many of us Brickfilmers are beginning to turn out our Christmas brickfilms (we are no exception).  There is one thing though that personally has me stumped, and many of you may be stumped about it too: How do you make decent snow falling from the sky?  It is fairly easy to make snow on the ground, for it can be white LEGO bricks, flour, paper, or anything else white in color. But making snow fall from the sky is something that I just cannot figure out.  Does anyone out there have any suggestions? :/]]></content>
