Hey, I’ve recently wanted to make something like this but it lacked resources I could have taken inspiration out of. When I finally got it working I just had to make it a resource so people didn’t have to do the same as I had to lol.
Uncopylocked test game
Here is the model: (OUTDATED!!!)
HOW TO USE:
In StarterPlayerScripts there is an actor called “SnowDef”, and inside it is the main code for it, all you should touch is the settings section at the top.
In ReplicatedStorage there is a module called “ModifierClass”, it’s a class for attachments which would deform the snow.
To use it, you have to require the module and call the “new” feature when you need it like this:
Local Modifier = ModifierClass.new(Attachment , Radius_To_Deform)
you can currently only use :Remove() and :Change(New_Radius) on the modifier.
HOW IT WORKS:
every frame, it goes through near modifiers and checks if they are near the player, if they are, it gets bones in the radius given using an octree and deforms them.
Thanks for your feedback, yes it could be better and more optimized, but it’s my first time using blender so yeah… It’s not the best. But it’s really the only snow deformation which is uncopylocked (I looked on the internet and I didn’t saw anyone make it open source.)
this is neat tech man! im no animator or modeler or nothing, but looking into the snow deformationplate shows over like over a thousand bones! this cannot be well optimized at all, so i dont think wide spread use of this is possible yet, but the display of what is possible is very neat!
i will say though, when you drive a buggy into the snow it looks a little funky, im going to guess this is because its just deforming bone clusters sorta like voxels. but if your just using it for like characters, it does a really good job!
Thank you, there is over one thousand bones inside, the bones are being “tweened” down. And I know many people did a lot better like XSwezan Snow Deformation Test - Roblox.
bump because i really like this concept, though im not the best at scripting, i know someone out there is talented enough to optimize this for the community <3 really want to use this for a christmas themed project, but performance is not well (i have a rig built for AAA games and i lag lol)
Now it should be!
