Bittersweet Snow a Material and Lighting project (Kuwahara Filter)

This project I was given a scene with simple lighting and models preplaced. I was then told to not change the base model's placement and to not change the camera's position as well. I was allowed to though do anything else. I decided to add snow from ultra dynamic that connected to a sequencer that slowly added snow to the ground. A couple of lighting changes from lights in the cabin plus I added a fireplace and smoke to give it a homey feeling. I also apply material changes to all of the grass and leaves to follow the snow. I also setup a Kuwahara filter to give it that painting look. When I first saw the scene, it really reminded me of a painting I would see in my grandpa's house so that was a major inspiration to how I looked into designing the Kuwahara filter
