Just a heads up: If you are running into displacement issues, try setting your Displacement Center value to 0 in your master material. You'll find this in the material details panel on the left. Depending on your setup you can get really nasty results.

The snow looks stunning, your reference studying definitely paid off. I know Niagara myself, but everything in this BP is so nicely organised and the Material system is very impressive, and as a means to support you for all your amazing content over the years, I'll have to grab it! BTW: regarding MRQ, I want to bring to your attention the following: "Demystifying sampling in Movie Render Queue" by Epic Staff on the UE learning hub. This in particular: "By default, the engine renders with a "Frame Center" shutter timing for motion blur. With this in mind, it's best to keep your sampling to odd numbers so that you get a sample on the keyframe for any animated impact or change or direction. It will help this motion come across more cleanly in your render."

Will - Thank you so much for creating tools of such high quality at reasonable prices for us struggling UE artists, newbies and hobbyist. I recently decided I wanted to do a "snow scene" cinematic and have spent (and dreaded) the last week collecting KZbin BP tutorials on how best to do snow effects. I quickly could see this was going to be a very complicated and time consuming BP to create. (I'm on a monthly living budget, so buying a plug-in for $50 or more isn't an option unfortunately.) I woke up this morning and literally screamed "THANK YOU WILLIAM FAUCHER!!!" and bought it. You are a life saver. This is EXACTLY what I needed.

@@WilliamFaucher - Finally got to implement this in my recent cinematic and I F-ING LOVE IT! It's so easy to use and this video tutorial did a fantastic job of explaining the common settings. One issue I ran into and perhaps you can offer some suggestions to resolve it. My scene has some City Sample Vehicles in it and I have the Drift option enabled on EasySnow. I noticed (especially from a distance) that the Drift/fog doesn't render when it passes over anything translucent (ex: Windows/taillights, etc.) so I get the effect of barely seeing the outline of the car, but the windows/taillights are crystal clear. I played around with all the LIGHTING MODES in the Drift material as your video suggested, but there was no change. Any thoughts/suggestions?

Its one of the things I never got: Why do people make great looking dynamics for snow FX and then have simple soft sphere particles....That bit of extra works you did in making realistic clumps is SO worth it. Also glad you reminded me that I too wanted to figure out a fix for the snow glimmering in the shadows issue...:) Been a while I toyed with it, maybe I know more now than I did back then, but hopefully you find a fix before I do...

Any plans for dynamic terrain displacement, i.e. tire tracks, footsteps, etc? I can see how that would be an entirely separate project, but would be neat to be able to match up the shaders.

Another great package at a very reasonable price. Just one observation (before purchasing, so correct me if I'm wrong) - but maybe it would be nice to have an option to pick a level wind actor to read things like wind strength and direction from (and as a fall back, leave the current controls). It wouldn't take much to manually align these, but if you have a wind system that changes direction dynamically, you'll have to remember to update the wind direction and strength in your system too. Not a huge deal, but maybe a nice feature for next version and should be easy to implement. Anyway, thanks again for your support to the community.

For the Global/Box mask thing, try using CPD instead of a parameter collection. It would still limit it to 1BP per overlapped actor BUT you could have multiple in the world. Used a similar approach with great success in a previous project to replace per instance vertex colour painting. Also there are ways to make that box mask be rotatable you just have to do the maths yourself. I made a sphere/plane mask where you could blend between the 2 options so you could have an elongated sphere or curved plane, both of which were directional depending on the gizmo rotation.

You could create a "snow repel" module in your niagara system and plug in the camera position to push back the snowflakes that come too close to the lens. Quite easy to do, loop over each particle, check the distance from the camera, if under a certain user controlled threshold, create a vector from the camera to the particle and use it to change the velocity of that particle.
@WilliamFaucher4 ай бұрын
At the moment any particle that gets too close will be killed off, but if there is a way to simply gently push it away instead, with a user controller parameter, that's even better. I will absolutely look into this. Thank you for the suggestion!
