Snow Globe 3DS Max Animation

[axeamnas]

not bad we just learned this in class yesterday i'm working on my second and am having a little trouble i think i messed up somewhere when i made it refract my problem is i just put something in the globe and assigned a material but when i render it its like that material isn't even in there do you have an idea what i might have either forgotten or did wrong

@axeamnas i haven't worked with this stuff in about a year, my best guess would be to check what kind of material it is, ie bilinear, spherical... i forget what the options are, but as far as I know, i mostly used blinn or surface mapping. for the globe, set the opacity to somewhere around 10% visibility. if you have refraction set at 100, you probably won't see it. try lessening the values of each effect and see if that doesn't fix it for you

how do we make the snowflakes collide in the ground?

No offense man, these are really well made and all, but, you must have a lot of time on your hands...

It's all for school and they're quite easy after the first level of animation.  It's what I'm most likely going to do for business someday.
