Winter is here! A remake of a scene I made back in 2019 (second image).
- Mostly the same snowman asset; Cleaned up the topology and added more snow on the props
- New snow shader; The 2019 shader is too reflective and looks more like compacted and frozen snow or ice.
- New background trees
- New lighting; The 2019 lighting is way too blue and dull. I wanted the new lighting to feel more like "warm sun on a winter day"
This was also a USD learning exercise. The entire scene is USD-based with MaterialX shaders. Rendered in Arnold with minor adjustments in comp.
