I was making a ‘Feliz Navidad’ banner at work and wanted to add snow to it to make it more eye catching. Here’s a link to a blog by Seb Lee-Delisle using Papervision to make 3D snow. Unfortinatley I couldn’t use AsctionScript 3.0 in our banners so I found a cool tutorial at Kirupa that uses ActionScript 2.0 in a similar snow effect that gives the user some fun with the mouse. This was a good choice because you can change the snow to whatever shape you want like snowflakes for instance. You could also tell it how much snow particles to fall at a time. I decided to keep the snow ball theme in the banner.
