Winter is here! Remake of a scene I made in 2019 (2nd image).
- Mostly same snowman; Cleaned up topology, added more snow on props
- New snow shader; 2019 one is too reflective & looks more like ice
- New trees
- New lighting; 2019 one is too blue & dull. I wanted the new lighting to feel more like "warm sun on a winter day"
This was also a USD learning exercise. Entire scene is USD based with MaterialX shaders. Rendered in Arnold with minor adjustments in comp.
