Particles (3)

[ryan3d]

k, picture a blank screen with a Absolute bottle off to the side....i added sum animated snow particles in combustion....i wanna get some of the particles to rest on the bottle, so i also added a "deflector" right on the top edge of the bottle.....but for some reason the particles seem to ignore it completely, and sometimes it seems to mess up the particles so i have to add them again.....anyone have any ideas on why or how to get the particles to stop on the bottle? i could do it in 3d and composite them on but i didnt want to do it that way.....

Experiment with the "Bounce" values in the particle emitter, particle types and deflector.

That should give you your desired result. Possibley try adding a second or third deflector as well to strengthen the wall

Try Delerium's Snow;you can use an objects alpha channel to have snow settle on it. Works well, as long as you don't have rotation in your camera move. If your camera does rotate, use 3d snow.

SpecialK,

I would use two emitters for this effect. One for the snow drop (line or area type) and one for where the snow will collect (line). You can always control both.
