Set Snow to Materials

This is an advanced section to quickly add snow to all of your materials used in the game.

First, you should collect all game materials by clicking the button: Collect Game Materials. After that, you should look into the list of the Materials to Change, and remove those materials that should not be affected by snow. (For example particles).

When you are satisfied with the result, hit the Set Snow to Materials button. This will add the Snow Function to the materials.

You can also add the snow function manually, by adding the Snow_Func MaterialFunctionCall into a material. Its input is a MaterialAttribute, and its output as well.

Make sure to use Material Attributes in your material to easily connect it. The checkbox can be found in the material properties.
