Hey guys, in today's video I'm going to be showing you how to create a snowfall Niagara particle system for your game. This will create a snowing environment perfect for any wintery or festive game!

Thank you sir for helping me in my Game development ❤

[@rifat.ahammed]

Great and EZ. Thank You

[@santaclaus4903]

thank you very very much!!!

[@djsalis]

Great video :)

[@THEGUMP-]

very cool you should make a video on how to create different sky boxes

[@eternal6163]

love you man

[@weareeternal3230]

The reason why your selection menu jumps up is because the simulation is running. When you change the velocity speed it needs to refresh the simulation to show you the result, which results in the menu jumping to the top. If you want to prevent this you need to pause the simulation, change the min and max speed and then hit play again. This will solve the annoying menu jump.

[@199jaw]

Why would you change the velocity when you can just delete it and let gravity force do the work? To slow down the simulation just increase the drag. Then add curl noise for some nice variance. Feel like that would get a much more realistic, prettier effect. Also, instead of scrolling through the entire stack to find velocity... you can always just click on the "Add Velocity" module. Would save you a lot of time.

[@jeremyzapsmash]

Thank you. my teacher is horrible!

[@MartKart8]

It's time to make a snowball and hit that subscribe button.

[@coldunion]

yes sir

[@colonelb]

Great tutorial Matt! How would you make it so that the snow accumulates on the ground, mesh surfaces, and clothes? And would niagara handle footsteps in snow or would that require a different step? Cheers!

[@Yggdrasil777]

Yeah, I came here thinking Matt would take it to the next level. Oh well.

[@colonelb]

@@Yggdrasil777 He may - that's enough content to make 3 or 4 videos out of so he's probably going to do it that way

[@back2the90s8]

I would love to know how this works too. I'm on UE5 and I only found a way using Displacement Shader, which doesn't work on Nanite meshes unfortunately. Afaik, the only way to do this in UE5, when using Nanite meshes is using geometry script and I really don't like doing thousands of Raycasts, which would probably kill my PC.

[@olumodejioluwayomi2352]

Add collision in the Niagara particle update and adjust some setting.

[@yourmom8878]

Dude can you make some tutorial drop item like granny and evil nun?,i think u can used someting like simulate and add force

[@galberger3937]

Do you have a toturial that allow the snow to cover the landscape?

[@dean_read]

goood video

[@astonyo7544]

Hi I have an interior scene and I want snow to fall only outside. How can I achieve that? Thanks

[@chilla86]

I have a question. I want to move my project from 4.26 to 5,0 or 5,1. But Im wooried if it will destroy it or that all graphics is not for version 5.

[@klue2673]

Any way I can fade them in and out of gameplay?

[@derekwaters8683]

Do you know why the snow wouldn't be rendering with the cinematic camera actor and the rest of the scene?

[@MartKart8]

I think you should go back and do something Blender related then import it, to Unreal Engine, like the time you built a snowman, something Winter related.

[@MattAspland]

Nice idea!

[@Leomerya12]

I messaged you on Patreon about a video on disintegration of characters and assets? The videos I found have people whose workflow is hard to follow or they themselves (accent, manner of speaking) is difficult to understand.

[@MattAspland]

Cool thanks, I'll get back to you as soon as I can :)

[@blindedinchains27]

all sweet and nice, however it falls through my roof, any tips, didnt have any luck so far

[@tokec8471]

Can you do so they despawn when they hit the ground, so they don't go through roofs etc

[@back2the90s8]

this should be possible, enabling collision on the particles. CodeLikeMe did a video on a rain particle system, in which he did this.

[@MattAspland]

You could do something similar to my rain video - I can look into adding this into a new video for snow too if you want. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZC4goyrgpaFjbc

[@amatanata]

I want it snowing outside the house but it won't stop falling through occasionally. Sometimes it lands on the roof, sometimes it falls through.

[@LordGROOVYSilver117]

warning for those that want to make a big blizzard 4:00 DO NOT SET THIS TO HIGH or it will crash and not save any of all your unsaved progress

[@minnyzcat5187]

whould be better if the snow would actually collide with ground and character and stay on top of it may be

[@er0s14]

Summary: Velocity Speed Minimum: -1000 Velocity Speed Maximum: -850 Shape Primitive: Sphere Sphere Radius: 5000 Spawn Rate: 5000 Uniform Sprite Min: 6 Uniform Sprite Max: 6 Lifetime Mode Min: 10 Lifetime Mode Max: 15 Gravity: 0, 0, -25

[@khannichinnu5422]

Can you please tech how to add looting system and inventory system pls

[@user-ld9ki7ju6s]

Mine is clear for some reason :o like it kinda looks like rain instead of snow, but it's showing up as white in the editor, but in the environment itself it's clear. any idea how to fix it?

[@janniggeloh5810]

I got the same issue, any idea how to fix it?

[@bobgratton2986]

Would it be possible instead to do that tutorials but instead of snow is falling debris...

[@frictiongamestudio7217]

A tutorial of police wanted stars system like gta pls
