After Effects Video Tutorial: Creating Realistic Snow 

Notes for those using this tutorial with the new version of Particular: 1. Pre-Run has been moved to **Global Controls (All Systems)** tab. 2. There so no longer Model Air, however, using the **Environment** tab will now mimic what it did before including all the old controls shown here.

Finally someone did a realistic snow tutorial. Thanks a lot for the effort in making this tutorial.

Even in 2020 this was extremely valuable in understanding the various effects of the Particular plug-in and how to create a snowy effect.

Best result of all tutorials at youtube. Thanks

Just followed this! 6 years later and it's still giving me perfect results. Only "issue" is that trapcode updated particular and some features moved places, but thats fine!

Cheers for the tutorial. If you press Ctrl + K you can go advanced tab and adjust the motion blur settings of your comp. Worth trying before using a render heavy force motion blur

You CAN set native motion blur settings, just go to composition settings, click the second tab, and at the bottom of the window you can set the shutter phase, angle, samples, etc...

BEST TUTORIAL EVER

Just what I needed. Beautiful.

Amazing tutorial. I´m a complete beginner still, I could follow along and actually understand what is going on throughout the whole video.

Thank you so much for this! 👍

This is an amazing video!

saved my ass. You sir is Legend.

Thank you so much. I needed this.

Perfect tutorial, I love your accent!

Thank you so much !!!

Thanks for this.. amazing tutorial

very good work!! question: at 0:28, are particles always ontop of the walking man? or you arranged it so some snow flakes go behind the walker. If so, how did you do that?

thank you for this great tutorial. i have a small problem. i have a clip that is panned from left to right so i want the snow to blow to the left against the pan. any tips?

Can you save this as a template for future works?

wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure if Im just dumb, but my levels FX has only two markers instead of 3 like yours. How do I get the third?

Some parts of my trapcode options are totally missing :( I don't have the pre-run, neither the physics option, air etc... I'm using the trial version now with the CC 2020 version. Does anyone have any idea where are those menus or why are they missing ? Pls help

Really great tutorial, but does anyone, I wonder about the part where he is close to the camera and the most of the snow is falling behind him but also a few flakes passes by in front of him. i used a obscuration layer for my case and it works, but, it makes the snowflakes going through the character which makes it look very wierd.

Can you tell me what you do after the rotoscoping on a close up? I've put the snow on the backround but i dont know what to do in front of the face?

Why when i put the camera on the composition, creates a black background on the video, just the snow comes out?

Cool

Thanks for the tutorial. An application example: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fQDwawmfuZ8.html What kind of preset do you use for rendering?

Wow

GET EM GATES

Красавчик!

Hi, I know this is a random question, and has nothing to do with the tutorial at all. But your timeline is only about 4 seconds long, yet it still shows seconds. I have set my timeline to timecode however when I make a comp that is 10 seconds long, it shows frames. Is there anyway I can fix that?

I did it with the preinstalled "CC Snowfall" plugin. How to connect the snow to the camera moving? Like 0:23 When i'm moving my camera horizontal, the snow is fix and only falls from top to bottom, bot does not move with the camera. I really want to know that :-)

Nice tutorial, but only 1 question, how can i slow up snow? It's going too fast

nice vid

Kevin, how could we find you in vimeo?

how do you make the snow look like is in slow motion?

no template ?

Winter is coming

can you share me the footage without effects ?

I love you...

the trial comes with a red X, how do you get around it?

Thanks :D ! Fantastic tutorial :D ! :-) (y) :-) Christmas coming and i did need this animation :D :-) Thanks m8 :-) :-) (y) :-) :-) :-) :-)

nice video but still the snow looks fake I live in nl so I know what it's like when snowing so for me it's not that realistic but cool affect and I subbed

Maxon is a virus, or acts like one I cannot recommand this software

I created a preset based on this tutorial: bit.ly/1OS2X07
