Thank you very much for the kind words

Thank you for the kind words! My system does not use the GPU particle accumulation shown in that video. While it is a great feature and has plenty of practical uses, it doesn’t perform well enough in large, open scenes, and doesn’t pile up as well as using displacement. I had considered using it and the masking function I have now, but it likely still would have performance issues and would essentially be a hat on a hat.

Let me know if you have any further questions!

As of right now I have a post-release updates list on Trello that people can vote on. Following the marketplace release of this system, I’ll begin working on regular updates to start rolling those features in, as well as addressing any bugs/performance issues that are reported to me. Please be sure to vote for the features on that list that you’d like to see, and I’ll address them in the order of most votes received. If you’d like to see something that isn’t on the list, let me know here in this thread, and I’ll review the plausibility of adding it.

I’ll also throw this into an empty scene after work today and give you the most current performance stats.

Cheers!

Thank you looking forward for posted numbers. Maybe i would have one additional question. The snow coverage method where the snow isnt being build up under cover objects is that working with pre-set static objects, or is it also working with realtime objects? For example if you would place static object in realtime would it also fit with cover system? Not that its any deal breaker if it doesnt work, but just to make sure. Also not sure if you said it before, is snow buildup using tesselation or is it POM and is it adjusting current set material for landscape, or is it additional material?
