Do you already have a present 🧑‍🎄? It is only a little more than a month away!
In other news, I managed to get tracks in the snow working 🥳
It just broke a few other systems, but I guess I can fix those 😅
I'm really happy how this is starting to look!

Despite earlier not-so-good-looking results, I am quite happy with how this is developing. The snow is made up of individual cones whose radius is scaled depending on the evenness of the ground, adapting to the height of the scene.

It's now down to around 20k triangles and it looks actually a bit decent. Maybe this is going to work after all 😅

Yeah. That is exactly what I had in mind. Just ... a lot cooler 🫠

Oh boy, I hope there is something to salvage from this 🙈

The rough idea I have in mind is, to utilize the top down camera to not only draw some kind of ambient shadow, but to also place a snow mesh on top of all geometry. I have no idea if this will work...

Shadow casting is ... starting to make sense. It is still terrible by sensible standards, but I have to start somewhere and it is not like I am using a game engine 😅

I guess I need more winter themed assets.
As for the particle system ... I think this will do for now:
Slow (CPU) ✔️
Sloppy ✔️
Barely functional ✔️
Now I need the top-down camera that renders a depth map. For certain purposes I have in mind... for a while.

Let it snow ...
I need some wind modifiers.

Started working on a particle system. I plan it to be slow and primitive so I don't spend too much time on it. I have only a few select appliances in mind.
