			<description><![CDATA[Snow is crazy hard.

if you want to do it in post, you'll have to composite multiple layers of snow, at different scales, moving at different speeds. That way it looks like a dense amount of snow in the air.

If you want to do it on set, its equally as hard, but maybe more fun? It depends what kind of shot you're doing.

Your first choice is to get a few sheets of glass and actually make bits of snow (I think maybe some lumpy flour, if you throw it at the glass when the glass has been wet? That way it'll dry onto the glass without giving you too much trouble). You make three or four panes of this, and move them every frame, positioned at different distances from the camera. Not only do you get snow, with realistic blur, but you also get depth of snow, which will make your characters look like they're really in a snow storm. Just make sure your lights are coming from behind the glass, or you'll get some terrible reflections.

Your other option is to shoot your scene without snow, but sprinkle flour (because icing sugar can be a little harder to clean up?) onto the entire set using a sieve (or a strainer, just shake it gently). So you're applying a little more snow every frame, and also maybe blow it gently every frame to make it move. Shoot that, without worrying about the falling snow. Then when you're done, either film (liveaction) a clean frame of your set while you use the sieve to sprinkle snow down in front of the camera, or you replay the clip on a screen and film it (liveaction) while you do the same thing.

Hope that helps :)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[quote=Hazzat]Yes, but that's not everything it does.
[quote=BuilderBrothers][b]You can make snow and relativley realistic blizzards using Squirl Water Reflections (see free software list).[/b]  We used it on "Twas The Night Before Christmas."[/quote][/quote]
I know that, I have that program.
What I was trying to say was When BGanimations said 
[quote=BGanimations]Annnnnnnd why didn't you use this? [url]http://www.bricksinmotion.com/forums/to[/url] … ware-list/[/quote]
Then ark11 said
[quote=ark11]I already checked it, there nothing there that i could see [b]fitting for the purpose[/b][/quote]
Then you (Hazzat) did wrote
 [quote=Hazzat]And Sqirlz is on the list.[/quote]
Then I wrote
[quote=Legoluke654]But in description it didn't say it can do snow.
It just says: water and water reflection effects.[/quote]
And what I meant by that was: How could ark11 know Sqirlz does snow effect when it wasn't written in freeware list description and then you (Hazzat) can tell: Sqirlz is on the list.

Anyways thanks for reading.

And excellent idea Jargon.]]></description>
