Did you enjoy Pietro's Snow Simulation? How about creating your own snowy scene with this new Blender Guru tutorial?

You can ski down it, make snow angles or throw it at someone’s face. Snow just makes everything awesome.
Maybe it’s due to growing up in QLD Australia (where it never snows), but I’ve been fascinated with snow all my life. And every Christmas I’m slightly envious of all the snow pictures that appear in my newsfeed from folks in Canada or the US :P
If you’ve tried making snow in Blender though you’ll know that it’s actually quite challenging to pull off. I made a snow tutorial back in 2010, but I wanted to make an updated version for Cycles.
In this tutorial you’ll discover a new method for making beautiful snow that works on any scene.
Discover How To:
- Make tire tracks and footprints in snow
- Paint realistic displacements using Photoshop or Gimp
- Create a realistic snow shader for Cycles

Nice tutorial,
I only wonder, would it be possible to create such brushes in Blender, instead of gimp/photoshop/...
So then one could see live how the bump behaves in 3d.
There is an add-on that lets you paint in PS or Gimp, and it will automatically update the texture in Blender: https://sites.google.com/site/pointatstuffweb/external-paint-autorefresh
I'm not sure if it still works (hasn't been updated since January), but when I tried it a while back it worked pretty well.
