Under the snow

Description

My first animation using the Source Filmmaker. I actually already did a few images (or posters) with it, one that I use as FB profile pic and some forums avatar, and one which I don't know if continuing it or just leaving it there, since I don't know what to do with it.

Back to this, I wanted to do something, then I had this idea, inspired also from the League Of Legends Jinx GIF they used in the log-in menu.

I edited the desert map downloaded from sfmbox (I kinda miss that website..) with the Hammer Editor and added the trees as models in the SFM so I could put them where I needed without re-compiling the map every time.

I used lots of volumetrics to do the foggy effect, and the particle system called stormfront for the snow effect (it also includes the "moving fog" effect). It took me about 2 hours just animating all, I think. With Hammer and converting it to GIF, probably 3 hours.

As a first animation, I'm really happy how it turned out.

I'd like to thank
