Assignment 4
Dynamics

I wanted to add an avalanche to the end of this movie that would wipe out the cabin after the snowballs hit.

Snow banks
I used soft bodies to interact with the snow balls inorder to create a dynamic snow bank. I tried to seperate the snow on the roof and the snow on the ground into two different solvers, but then the snow balls would interact with both. I believe this is the reason that it doesn't look like they interact with the snow on the ground.

Falling Snow
For the falling snow I used hardware particles emitted from a surface. I tried using a turbulance field but I couldn't get the numbers correct. The snow ended up falling upwards.
