Real Snowfall

This snowfall Flash movie is based on advanced AS3 particle system. The realistic animation uses physics like 3D perspective, spin rotation, deph of field with blur effects and so on. You can control apparence and motion simply changing few parameters in the component inspector. Use this animation standalone as background or layered with a photo, adding realistic motion graphic effect. You can also mask or process the component with the standard Flash features. Drag the component where you need it and adjust the controls, it’s simple.

Available parameters:

Density (Number of flakes in the display area) Gravity (Average falling speed) Turbulence (Horizontal alteration of speed) Min size (The size of the further flakes) Max size (The size of the closest flakes)

Blur effect is automatically added according to the flake perceived distance. Spin rotation of each flake is also automatic, as well as horizontal motion (controlled by turbulence parameter). Try to play with parameters to obtain some cool effects. For example you can drive flakes to floating in space without gravity, but you can also reverse gravity raising up the flakes like luminescent dust.
