Notes and disclaimers:

⮞ This tool is in a Beta stage. Some bugs and errors can occur, feel free to report them.

⮞ The tool needs Unreal's Geometry Script and Editor Scripting Utilities plugins to work properly. Enabling the Snow Generator plugin should automatically install the necessary dependencies.

⮞ Generation loading times can easily reach long minutes if parameters are not set with care. It is highly advised to read the whole documentation before diving into using the tool.

⮞ This tool is based on  CB3DART 's work and research. My creation uses the fundamentals he explained in a short series of videos. Feel free to check out his work!
