Snow Accumulations Study

Swipe for some hi-res stills & process breakdown! The idea was to emulate the timelapse feel of snow build up "without the wait" (this is a joke, get it? haha ;) ) Big thanks to @therealentagma and @emty01 for the initial grain growth solutions. With that knowledge as a backbone I was able to explore and create some dynamic glue constraints for the chunks at the solver level. Rendered in @redshift3d, the snow and clouds are volumes and the moss is about 350,000 instanced sprites from Megascans. @sidefxhoudini this software is beast! Can't believe the amount of data that can be handled..
