After the storm

Making snowstorms leave a mark

A ski-resort game ↗

Falling snow became a coat on the trees. Then it needed a way to fade.

I wanted the trees to remember a storm after the snowfall stopped. The first coating used accumulated snowfall, so it only grew.

A separate canopy snow layer keeps that coat after the weather clears, then gradually thins it with time and sunlight. The close-up shows those changes in time-lapse.

Next: back to the tiny skiers.
