The Problem
Creating realistic snow coverage in game environments is tedious. Manual placement is time-consuming, inconsistent, and doesn't handle occlusion properly.
The Solution
NavMesh-based approach: Leverage Unity's NavMesh system to automatically detect walkable surfaces and generate snow layers with perfect occlusion.
How It Works
- Bake Unity NavMesh for the scene
- Extract NavMesh geometry data
- Extrude mesh upward to create snow layer
- Automatic occlusion from NavMesh
- Works on any object type
Artist Controls
Provides full control over snow appearance: smooth normals, edge beveling, extrusion height, and mesh density. Fine-tune without manual editing.
Results
One-click snow coverage for entire scenes. Dramatically speeds up environment art workflow with consistent, realistic results every time.
