Global Snow & Rain 3

Global Snow & Rain 3 is a major upgrade of Global Snow 2: add one component to the camera and the whole scene gets snow, rain, puddles and frost, while roofs, porches and bridges keep what is under them dry.

✨ Why Global Snow 3

• No material changes, no custom shaders: it works on the shaders your scene already uses.
• Weather that behaves like real life: snow, ice, puddles and rain combine naturally and respond to the temperature.
• Master weather controls, with detailed settings for every effect when you need them.
• Smart coverage: roofs, porches and bridges keep the snow, the rain and the puddles off what is under them automatically, with no exclusion volumes.
• Real snow depth: snow piles up with real thickness, and characters, vehicles and objects dig deep marks into it.
• 3 performance levels and profiles that blend from one weather to another.

🌡️ Weather

• Temperature and Intensity set what falls: snow, wet snow, snow and rain mixed or rain, from very light to extreme.
• Performance levels and profiles that blend from one weather to another.

❄️ Snow

• Three shading levels: Flat Shading, Normal Mapping and Relief Mapping, with glitter.
• Snow accumulation with real thickness that buries what rests in it.
• Natural snow lines with altitude, slope limits and bare patches.
• Snow on terrain grass, vegetation and forward opaque objects such as tree leaves.

👣 Footprints & Marks

• Deep marks that dig into the snow under characters, physics objects and vehicles, with raised rims.
• Footprints for characters, animals and first person cameras.
• Collision marks with a plow mode for vehicles and blades, dirt reveal and snow bursts on impact.

🌬️ Snowfall, Dust & Wind

• Procedural snowfall from light snow to blizzards, with a distance whiteout.
• Snow dust near the ground and one shared wind for snowfall, dust and rain.

🌧️ Rain & Water

• Rain that wets the surfaces exposed to the sky.
• Puddles with ripples and rain rings that freeze in the cold, and a Puddle Editor to paint them.
• Running drops, rain splashes and camera rain drops on the lens.

🧊 Frost

• Surface frost on the ground and on walls, and camera frost on the edges of the view.

🎯 Coverage Control

• Layer mask, per object exclusion and a coverage mask brush in the Scene View.
• Object Snower to cover or clear the area of an object such as a long road.

🛠️ Tools

• Scene View preview and a Compare split view with and without the effect.
• Scripting API to change the weather at runtime and to mark the snow from your own code.

Plus...

• Interactive demo scene that shows every effect.
• 34 ambient sounds you can use in your own scenes: rain, wind, snowfall and thunder, plus footsteps on snow, ice, water and gravel.
