Maya tutorial : Create snow on objects

[@Gerberrt]

Hey Mike, just here to say that you have helped me tons, I started learning animation/modeling ect around a month ago and as soon as I found this Channel I knew all my modeling questions would be over. This video about creating snow was the only this I was disappointed to not find when I first looked but now that it is here I have nothing to complain about. Thanks for everything and have a Merry Christmas.

I always did neglect the render aspect of Maya. I've got a habit of just chucking my assets into a level editor but this is actually amazing! I'll be sure to use this in a future project. The image plane helps as well! Great tutorial.

Hi, great tutorials. I have done this in both Maya 2016 and 2018 and get the same result. I followed the example exactly just using a polygon cylinder as a test as I want to create a low poly xmas tree with snow. The result I get is a very large “meringue” effect and low poly look after a render. Nothing like yours.

This is amazing! Thank you!

[@3V1LKNIGHT]

is there a way to set an "initial state" like in Ncloth in order to create constant particles? for an image sequence batch render type thing

[@MHTutorials3D]

Yes, just search for "initial state animation in Maya"

[@skipperico2710]

thanks

[@S-ivanov]

Hi Mike. This is a great tutorial. I followed it directly but unfortunately when I convert particles to polygons it just disappears. No polygons. :( Do you know if this method works in Maya 2015 or if there is a setting I need to turn on? I looked up and I know to see the particles you turn on something in objects display but I want the polygon mesh. Thanks!

[@MHTutorials3D]

+S Ivanov It should work fine in Maya 2015. Th only thing I can think of is to retrace your steps and check whethjer you did something different from the tutorial.

[@S-ivanov]

Thanks Mike. After more research I discovered I had to, decrease the threshold and increase the blobby radius scale in the out put mesh tab.

[@MHTutorials3D]

+S Ivanov Cool

[@ZeynepBAy-vj3ik]

Could you use the mesh tools to adjust the snow?

[@MHTutorials3D]

Sure

[@sabantha1313]

Awesome tutorial, mike! Is there any chance you can model a lit candle with wax melting off, in a dark room? Much appreciated. :)

[@MHTutorials3D]

Sammy Herrera Hi Sammy,I will what I can do but your request is a highly complicated one :-)Mike

[@sabantha1313]

Mike Hermes haha sorry! this is one of the main pieces to complete a scene that i am creating and i have no idea on where to start with this one.

[@malioglu9907]

great

+a good kid Thanks

[@navdeepsingh-ux1nv]

Hey Mike, Thanks for the tutorial. I am a beginner and I was wondering, won't that make the scene heavy?

[@MHTutorials3D]

+navdeep singh Yes :-)

[@bladebison]

jesus, this must really effect the render time.

[@MHTutorials3D]

Yep

[@cyphermur9t]

It's good, but RIP tri count.

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Cypher Yes I know

[@TheDorianTube]

+Mike Hermes What's a Tri count?

[@MHTutorials3D]

+TheDorianTube A Tri count or triangulated count is similar to a quad count ( faces with four sides ) but then with 3

[@TheDorianTube]

+Mike Hermes Ah thanks.
