CINEMA 4D R11 Quickstart – Thinking Particles
4. Quick Tutorial – Objects as Particles
Now we have a cute little setup that makes snow fall but we’re still missing the actual snow. What this snow
will look like is completely up to you. Simple spheres or snow crystals with alpha channels? We’ve decided on a
light object. With the right settings you can make it look like a pretty convincing snow flake.
Add a light source to the scene (Objects / Scene / Light). You will have to change some of the light’s settings in
order to make it “flaky“. Set “Visible Light“ to “Visible“ and “Noise“ to “Visibility“ on the Noise menu of the
Attribute Manager. The light should not be visible and should not light the scene so activate “No Illumination“
in the “General” tab.
