SnowFX- Snow Generator for Blender

The SnowFX tool makes snow modeling a lot more easy & fun to create within Blender 2.8.

You can drop snow on the go, or paint using the Snow Painter for more art direction.

Creating snow in the CGI world, can be pretty tedious. You'd have to deal with a time consuming setup and this tool converts that process into an easy to use operator for painting/dropping snow directly onto your objects.

Snow generation isn't the only thing this tool is capable of, it includes a Snow Editor which lets you alter the shape & look of the snow after applying.

Here are the list of the current features this add-on is packed with.

Features:

• Drop Snow on top of your object
• Paint Snow
• Snow Height Editor
• Add snow layers & combine snow as you paint.
• User-Friendly Panel

Documentation

Installation: Once you have downloaded the .zip folder. Go to your preferences in Blender & head over to the Add-ons Tab. There you will find the "Install..." button where you can locate the .zip file. Select the 'SnowFXv1_1.zip' file & click 'Install Add-on'. Search for SnowFX & enable the add-on. The tool will be located in the SnowFX tab in your toolshelf.

With this tool, adding snow to your object only takes 4 Steps: Add Snow > Paint >Apply > Edit

Adding Snow

When enabling this Icon, you are dropping snow onto your object. Note: Enabling will restrict you from using the Snow Painter.

When the Drop Icon is disabled, you can paint the snow instead of generating it auto-magically.

When using the Snow Painter, you will jump into Painting Mode.

Snow Painter Controls:

• LeftClick = Add Snow
• RightClick = Melt Snow
• Ctrl+Mousewheel Srolling = Brush Proximity Radius
• Esc key = Exit Painting mode

Once you have applied the snow, you can make some changes, such as Snow Height & adding extra Layers on top.
