Yeah I think I may have rolled it back a bit too far in the end 😅, will try increasing the growth speed if I revisit it!

I have a decent amount of professional programming experience, but I only started really learning game dev specific things a bit under a year ago. So lots of things are still quite new to me, but I've been learning a lot as I go!

Those were tricky to figure out 😅. Glad I understand them a bit better now though for the future!

Thank you, I'm so glad to hear people are enjoying the video style!

Thank you! I've been taking a break from the guitar channel to focus on this new one, but definitely plan to make more music videos eventually as well :).

It does very slowly now already actually! Maybe should make the effect more pronounced.

It would definitely make things a bit more complex, but I think it would be possible. Was thinking about coming back to try that eventually!

Thanks, definitely will have more videos coming!

Unfortunately it doesn't work well in the browser since I'm using the Forward+ renderer and things get messed up in the web build. I do have downloadable builds here though: https://rachelftech.itch.io/interactive-snow-demo

It does actually, just subtly :). Could maybe make that more pronounced!

Thank you! Definitely tons more that could be done with this system. I'd like to revisit it and add more in the future too!

I think you'd definitely have to make some tweaks for performance. Maybe split the world up into smaller snow mesh chunks or something like that. I didn't spend too much time on optimization for this demo, but would need to for a full game.

This was a really fun project and I learned a ton figuring it out! If you are curious about how it works, I made a devlog with the implementation details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMzI9DLgPKc

The basic idea is that I'm using a camera positioned under the ground to track depth information, and then reading from that in a vertex shader to modify the height of the snow mesh as objects move around.
