** GET GLOBAL SNOW WITH THE UNITY DARING MEGA-BUNDLE! **

From the creator of of Beautify and Volumetric Fog & Mist, comes Global Snow, the most convenient, complete and gorgeous solution to render your scene as a beautiful winter landscape with a single click. Just add a script to your camera and customize the results.

Global Snow works with your existing scene, including standard Terrain, Tree and Grass, SpeedTree and many other shaders: you don’t have to change your shaders or use new snowed prefabs.

Global Snow is an all-in-one, drag & drop solution (with many options) that also plays nicely along with other terrain shaders as well.

*** Rendering Features ***

Realistic snow with 4 rendering styles:

  • PBR Relief Mapping, a full PBR + optimized volumetric approach which produces a 3D effect of snow bumps.
  • PBR Normal-mapped snow, uses albedo, normals and specular workflow.
  • Flat shading, a faster mode without normal modification which still looks great!
  • Simplified unlit mode, simple yet convenient effect.

✔ Integrated Occlusion and Glitter.

✔ Unity shadow system compatible.

✔ Compatible with Global Illumination.

✔ Compatible with Deferred and Forward rendering paths.

✔ Compatible with Gamma and HDR color spaces.

*** Coverage Features ***

  • Automatic snow coverage with exclusion options (by layers, per gameobject, mask texture). No need to create thousands of exclusion volumes to hide snow from internal buildings or under roofs.
  • Snow can cover terrain, vegetation, buildings, transparent cut-out objects and opaque geometry.
  • Altitude scattering for more natural height coverage.
  • Slope controls to add realistic snow over cliffs or mountains.
  • Ability to place holes.

*** Extra Features Included ***

  • Integrated snow coverage painter in SceneView.
  • Object snower tool. In addition to the snow brush painter tool, you can now drag & drop scene objects into the inspector and apply custom snow coverage. Great to remove snow from roads and other complex shaped objects!
  • Footprints. Make your FPS character leave footprints behind.
  • 3 snow footfalls audio clips included.
  • Terrain marks. Detects terrain collisions adding marks over the snow on any moving gameobject. Also detects wheel collisions, great for vehicles on snow (see screenshots).
  • Snowfall with lighting compatible particles.
  • Camera frost effect.
  • World Manager API compatible.
  • Works great with other assets such as Vegetation Studio, Gaia, CTS and VertExmotion.

Lots of quality and feature options with global presets for quick setup and run.
