Description
Merry Christmas!!!! I decided to make a quick MMD Christmas scene in Blender since I haven't been doing any drawings for Christmas. I made this in three days, so it could be better but I wanted to finish it on time lol. I found a Christmas themed stage I liked, and I used my Snowman Kaito model I've had for a while and I found a sky. It took me forever to find a sky I liked XD It just started snowing so Kaito is trying to catch some snowflakes in his hand XDIf you remember the Christmas drawing I did of Kaito a couple of years ago I used the same pose from it for this. Here is the drawing Snow Kaito . For the snow I used two particle systems and had one be big and the other small and directly over Kaito to create more snow. I used an emission shader on the snowflakes on Kaito's hair and the highlights in his eyes, and on the lights and city in the background. I also made the sky an environment texture. For the lights I have six lamps, a sun lamp, two area lamps, and three point lamps. For compositing I used blur and glare nodes on Kaito, the snow, and the stage. I also did just one little edit in Photoshop to get rid of one snowflake on his face so it would look better. I had trouble with getting the light to shine on the whites of his eyes and I ended up changing the MixRGB color node from multiply to add which seemed to work since I couldn't figure out any other way to fix it ^^

[Commenting with the spirit of Critmas 2018 . ]
What a lovely Christmas scene! I love the unusually huge Christmas tree on the background with colorful lights in a dark night setting. I'm not an expert in 3D art or the software Blender in particular so I can't comment on the technique, I believe you did your best (15 minutes rendering must indicate a hard work!). I'm just going to comment on the artistic points in general.
. For the composition I think it would be better if you crop the left side of the canvas just a bit since looks like it bears quite a blank space - it's okay to crop the background tree juuuuust a bit since that's not your main focus.
. The tree on the background seems to emit lights with high intensity so it would be believable if the character also have more intense shading. I can see the subtle strikes of reflected colored light on the back but curiously the general lighting looks as if the setting is on the morning not night.
. The snow drops I believe could use more variation in size and shapes because this way they resembles some kind of glitter more than snow. Some hints of snow on the scene (snow lumps on the street and perhaps a bit on his hair and shoulders) could also help giving the impression.
But again aside from those I already adore this scene, there's the sense of peace and wonder that's apparent in all elements you drew, arranged, & rendered skillfully. Keep up the good work, merry Christmas and happy new year!^^

Thank you so much! I agree about cropping the left side it does look pretty blank, or I should have rotated the character and camera to get rid of the blank space. I did make the lights on the tree really bright compared to the lighting on his back. I could have made the lights brighter and more noticeable on his back since they are hard to see a little bit, or made the lights on the tree less intense. I also agree that it doesn't look as dark as it should to make it look like it's night. I should have lowered the main light a bit. I just didn't want the scene to look too dark lol. I wasn't really sure how to make the snow in 3D so I ended up making it simple and not adding any on objects and stuff. Eventually I'll learn how to make good looking snow ^^
Thanks again for all the feedback! Merry Chirstmas and Happy New Year to you too! ^^

Merry Christmas! This is so pretty!! I like how you reused a pose from one of your past drawings, it really ties the years together. Love the lighting and emission shaders on he trees. The blur and glare are perfect as always, creating a really nice atmospheric effect. Never seen Snow Kaito before, he is so kawaii ! I really need to download the latest Powroupi fork and make some renders sometime, these look so professional!! (I'll admit I'm a bit jealous, in a competitive artist way ). I hope they still work in blender 2.80, the new interface is really interesting! Have a lama for a holiday present !

Merry Christmas! Thank you so much! I couldn't come up with any other ideas so I chose to reuse the pose lol. Kaito's snowman outfit is one of my favs!
Powroupi has made a lot of awesome updates to the addon
I still have a lot to learn though (I'm also a bit jealous of your modeling skills. I really need to practice modeling more so that I can create my own characters XD) They should, I think Powroupi is working on making the addon work in Blender 2.80. The new interface does look interesting. It's going to take some time to get used to lol. Thanks!
Here is a llama for you too! ^^
