Artist Shares Real-Time Snowfall System Built with Three.js & WebGL
The project is open-source and available on GitHub.
Developer and 3D Specialist Chiro Visuals showcased this stunning setup built with a custom real-time snowfall system, made using Three.js and WebGL. The project is open-source and available on GitHub.
The setup allows for visualizing realistic snowfall using a procedural workflow and features GPU-instanced flakes with a soft round shape that fall slowly, ice-crystal sparkles, and a lake system with multiple settings. Also, the system includes a snow accumulation shader, which is an FBM noise mask in world space that determines where snow has settled on the asphalt and has an option to import a model and control how the snow behaves with it.
Chiro Visuals has created other detailed and visually appealing setups, like this real-time photorealistic ocean and text effect:
