Hi I'm trying to create a foreground snowfall in view.I've tried modifying the rain tech but it just doesn't feel right any ideas anone?

IF you can, it's almost always preferable to do it in post. It usually looks better, and is a lot faster in the long run. -Tim

Thanks tim I do a lot in post but animating snow while trying to rotoscope can be time consuming as well. What i'm really looking for is a workaround for a particle system that will work in vue4 pro. Al

Use the rain tech and not only move but also resize individually your snow cylinders while rotoscoping to make it look more real. Also don't forget to link the snow to the cam. Guitta

Thanks Guitta This is working well, also I discovered that adding another trans layer to the snow mat and slowly spinning the cylinders is helping. Thanks for the tip! Al

Thanks, Al, much appreciated. No pressure, just love seeing other animations and would love to see how the snow turns out in particular. -Tim
