When to Use It
Use Snowfield when you need broad settled snow coverage across the terrain surface.

Properties
| SnowControl the snow cascades. Small variations will be added per cascade. | |
| Cascades | The number of cascades, or periods of snowfall. |
| 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. |
| Taper Snowfall | Sequentially reduce the amount of snowfall per cascade. |
| Taper Amount | The amount to reduce in each snowfall period. |
| Settle Duration | Specifies the time it takes for freshly fallen snow to settle and compact, impacting the smoothness and stability of the snow surface. |
| Melt | Snow melts evenly across the entire terrain, resulting in a consistent reduction of snow coverage. |
| 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. |
| Flows | Create flow structures like furrows and grooves from sharp snow accumulation. |
| Flows Depth | The depth of the flow structures. |
| Seed | Sets the randomization seed for snow distribution, ensuring reproducible results or introducing variation in snow patterns. |
| Sharp Buildup | Forces sharp edges where large amounts of snow gets piled up. |
| Alternate Snowfall | Use an alternate algorithm to create snow cascades. |
| Surface Details | Add small surface details to accentuate snow buildup. |
| Direction | The general direction of snowfall. XNone NNorth EEast SSouth WWest |
