Any ideas? Anyone please…
Thanks

I have been dabbling in Houdini for awhile now, never really getting to far but trying to understand more concepts. But the time has come where I need to put my skills, and learning ability to the test. I already have a driveway and snow modeled on the ground, but I need to make a drifting effect that would look like snow drifting across the top of the snow. Like this [c1.staticflickr.com]

Any direction on this would be great.

Thanks!

Update 1:

I actually started a test. Not sure if this is the right way to do it, but made a sphere with whispy smoke. Then I added wind force. Then I took a cube and made it static to keep it low to the ground. I didn't bring in the exact geo, but took a gird and applied a moutain and made it static. It interacted quite nicely and feel like it should work when I bring in the correct geo.

I would feel like there is a better way to keep the smoke towards the ground correct? Instead of putting a cube there to block it…

Thanks. Pretty happy with my first attempt and should be able to dial it in. Just want to learn other methods, as I have a couple months to complete this.

Thanks

So I have been playing around with grains, trying to make some snow. How does he get the texture of snow like at the beginning of this video?

Is that just from spheres and a lot more points? Or is it a special type of texture/shader? Trying to remake this in modo or c4d.

Thanks for any input.
