Quick question: How would you make a frost material? I'm currently making a commercial, where an object cools down from plus 20 degrees celcius to minus 70, so thought it would be cool to animate the frost codensation on the model.

I'm in Cinema 4D btw :)

Would really appreciate your feedback! Thanks a ton :)

You saying you can't make frost material in general or asking just about how to animate it ?

Exactly Xenobyte, that's precisely what I mean :) I'm doing this animation where a piece of equipment is in a big freezer, and I'm trying to make the frost occur on the surface of the equipment (so we have both the original material in the bottom, and the frost layer on top of it).

I'm hoping to make it look a bit like the scene in Day After Tomorrow, where everything freezes:

Any ideas :D ?
