The CG Geek shows how to create a fantastic real-time dynamic snow effect.

The CG Geek Steve Lund breaks down his dynamic snow effects scene that he created in Blender. The tutorial covers using particle systems, Eevee, and Dynamic Paint, which all come together to create snow that builds up over time, and affects objects in the scene.

The effect starts with just one particle acting a snowflake. The particles handle the snow falling from the sky, while it’s the dynamic paint system that controls the snow accumulating on the ground and objects in the scene. You can download the finished scene file by becoming a Patron.
