I need some kind of prop for adding snow to props. For instance, a prop that can be placed on the roof of a house to look like snow. Is there such a thing?
Thanks

bkmrk for pure curiosity

There was some talk about this. I believe when it was when Ziggie posted WIPs of his "Elfridges" store model (which eventually ended up for sale at DAZ). He did include snow props with Elfridges, but I don't know if they'd work on other buildings.

But how it works? Any class of dynamic prop?

I don't know if anyone ever tried doing it, aside from Ziggie, but the idea was to make some "generic" snow props. A snow construction kit, if you will. Obviously, this would work better for a patchy snow look, as with Elfridges, rather than an even blanket.

I was planning on doing something just for my own projects:

1. Get metasequoia lite version. It's free.

2. Use the blob function on the sphere creation.

3. switch to move and scale etc, to smoothly change the look of the emerging fallen snow pile.

4. export to DXF or lwo

5. import to Poser 6.

6. make it into a prop. or, to make things more difficult, put it into setup room and convert to figure with boning etc.

I think that's how I planned on doing my fallen snow prop.

I found that it wasn't too difficult to model the snow, but.... it was difficult to get it to look right... so I gave up :-(

I think that looks pretty good!

What about a morphing blanket, sheet or pillow? I thought I saw some at RDNA and TrekkiGrrl's site. You could place them how you want and use the material room to add a cottonball texture or even to just remove the colour.

aaaawww... just found a render of Elfridges from around this time last year. I heard it bombed at DAZ saleswise... prolly why they didn't show any interest in the other Elf Town models I offered them :-(

Those are cute. Sell them in another store. Daz isn't the only store around, and not the final authority on what is good or not good. They are simply a store.

mmm... thought I would give it another try...

That looks great! Did you do the prints in Poser or post work? It's a nice touch... as is the pee stain, LMAO

The prints are a bump map on the flat plane...
