When to Use It
Use Snow when you need simulates snow fall, melt, and settling like in nature, and controls how the snow adheres and flows along the terrain.

Properties
| Snow | |
| Duration | Controls the length of time snow accumulates on the terrain, affecting overall snow coverage and depth. |
| Intensity | Determines the rate at which snow falls and accumulates, influencing the thickness and density of the snow layer. |
| Settle Duration | Specifies the time it takes for freshly fallen snow to settle and compact, impacting the smoothness and stability of the snow surface. |
| MeltDefines the method by which snow melts from the terrain, affecting the pattern and distribution of melting. | |
| Melt Type | Defines the method by which snow melts from the terrain, affecting the pattern and distribution of melting. UniformSnow melts evenly across the entire terrain, resulting in a consistent reduction of snow coverage. DirectionalSnow melts preferentially in a specific direction, simulating effects such as sun exposure or wind, leading to uneven snow retreat. |
| Melt | Defines the method by which snow melts from the terrain, affecting the pattern and distribution of melting. |
| Melt Remnants | Specifies the amount and appearance of snow left behind after melting, such as patches or traces of residual snow. |
| Direction | Sets the primary direction for directional melting, influencing which areas of the terrain lose snow first. |
| Snow Line | Defines the altitude or threshold below which snow does not accumulate, simulating natural snow lines on mountains. |
| AdvancedSpecifies the minimum slope angle at which snow will slide off, affecting snow accumulation on steep surfaces. | |
| Slip off Angle | Specifies the minimum slope angle at which snow will slide off, affecting snow accumulation on steep surfaces. |
| Adhered Snow Mass | Controls the amount of snow that remains attached to surfaces, even on steep or vertical terrain. |
| Model Scale | Sets the scale of the terrain model, influencing how snow parameters are interpreted relative to real-world dimensions. |
| Real Scale | Specifies the actual physical scale represented by the terrain, used for accurate snow simulation and parameter scaling. |
| Terrain Scale | Adjusts the scaling factor for the terrain, affecting how snow features are distributed and visualized. |
| Verticality | Controls the influence of vertical surfaces on snow accumulation, determining how much snow can adhere to cliffs and steep slopes. |
| Seed | Sets the randomization seed for snow distribution, ensuring reproducible results or introducing variation in snow patterns. |
