| Anfy Snow applet |
| |
|
|
|
This applet visualises realistic snow flakes as a layer
over a selected image, preferably the one with snow
already present on the ground. This looks more natural.
[More technical
information about the available parameters can be
found here.]
Most parameters are self-explanatory
and you can always see brief description of each parameter
by moving the mouse pointer over the
wizard.
|
 |
First select a background
image over which you want to cast snow flakes animation.
The size of the image decides the applet size automatically.
Alternatively, you may want to choose a solid colour
for the background. You can activate textscroller
either under or over the snow layers by checking
"Enable textscroll" and "Snow
over text" boxes. |
|
 |
The snow
layers comprises "Far", "Middle",
"Near" and "Foreground" layers.
So, there are 4 different layers of snow flakes
animated independently. |
|
|
You can set a number of snow flakes
for each layer. If you enter "0" for any of
the layers, that layer will be disabled. This is not
very recommended, because more snow layers result in
more natural effect.
Now, set the snow fall speed at "Dropping
speed" parameter. The value for this can be any
number between 1 and 50 (snow disabled if 0).
|
 |
Additionally, you may
want to change maximum wind speed and fluency of
changing directions of the wind. |
|
|
The wind speed varies to produce realistic snow fall,
so you can only set the maximum speed, whose value can
be between 0 and 3.
You can also define how fast the wind direction changes
at "Variation" parameter. The value for this
takes any integer between 0 and 10.
To disable any of these features, just place "0"
at respective parameter boxes.

We have only discussed about the anfysnow
specific parameters. For generic parameters, please
read wizard section.
Proceed to the
textscroll menu if you have checked the textscroll
box; otherwise go to the expert
menu.
