Snowing

IMPORTANT

Status: Supported
Minimal version: IX-Ray Platform 1.3

Snowing dynamically applies snow to surfaces that fall under outdoor.
Enable it in engine_external.ltx by setting UseDynamicSnowMask to true:

UseDynamicSnowMask = true

Disabling for Specific Locations

In level.ltx, add:

[weather]
snowmask = false

Snowing: Dynamic objects

• Create an additional texture mask with the suffix _snowmask.

• Sample mask

• Snow data is stored in the green channel of the texture

Setting the Mask Color

In engine_external.ltx, set the following under [shaders_options]:

DYNAMIC_SNOW_COLOR = float3(1, 0, 0) ; Color in rgb from 0 to 1

Snowing: Static objects

• Statics need no extra masks beyond textures/shaders/snowmask/snow.dds
