Day 27 : Snow

I am amazed by the result of this one. The setup is so simple but I was proud how straight forward it was. I had this picture of a frozen branch and tried to replicate it in Houdini. Nicely done

Title: First snow

Originally I thought I would make a procedural tool to make the flakes, but then figured my time is better used rendering frames, lol. So I made the most basic version of a snow flake generation process I could think of and that worked well enough.
If I were to make a tool, I would probably replace the cop part with an L-system that could get turned into a texture.
