Procedural Growing Frost Cinema 4D & X-Particles + Creating a Realistic Ice Material in Arnold 5

Daniel Danielsson is a Freelance Director / Motion Designer who is based in Hertfordshire, which is north of London, England. I’m not sure how much snow and ice they get there, but Daniel has some fantastic Cinema 4D tutorials on creating frost and ice.

Procedural Growing Frost Cinema 4D & X-Particles

Daniel simulates some autonomous animating frost with X-Particles in Cinema 4D. He explains both Arnold and the Standard Renderer. His voiceover is great, and reminds me of a late night radio DJ from the 1960s.
