It's placed by slope and blended by height, exactly like the curvature and slope systems from last video. It just adds a few tricks of its own so it reads like real snowfall instead of a coat of white paint. What's covered: • Enable Snow — the master toggle that's off by default (same trap as the height-blending category) • Slope-driven placement: the same angle / contrast / falloff trio from last video, pointed at snow (plus invert, for snow driven onto steep faces) • Height blending: making snow ACCUMULATE into the hollows and cracks instead of reading as flat white paint — the biggest "is it convincing" lever • The patchy mask: uneven, wind-scoured coverage that looks weathered • Painting snow on or off — the snow blend mask, and the anti-freeze "no snow here" brush for sheltered spots • Procedural default + painted override — the pattern the next video formalises ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔗 SURFACE FORGE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Get Surface Forge on Fab: https://www.fab.com/listings/9d27e228-5ee3-4bb5-a4a2-87ba386cb53a 🔗 Discord support: https://discord.gg/tyKJYwnutr ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📺 MODULE 3 — LAYERING AND BLENDING ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ► Two-Layer Blending with Vertex Paint: https://youtu.be/l11cc2t9BHQ ► Curvature & Slope — Self-Texturing: https://youtu.be/P8_nVecy6J0 ► Snow as a Special Layer (you are here) ► Next — Mesh Paint & the Priority Rule: [LINK when live] Full series playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3h9_2VztKEGUaAZhacBoBLiK0Xh8FL86 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💬 QUESTIONS? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Drop them in the comments.
