Hello,  
After reading through the tutorial for creating falling snow effect, I’m trying to create a mask to which the falling snow will only be visible through. The mask doesn’t work for some reason. How can I create a mask to work for the falling snow effect as found in the tutorials section?

thanks for any help.
