Setup (Built-in and URP)

Global Snow 2 comes with 2 packages: one for built-in pipeline and another for URP (Universal Rendering Pipeline).

If you’re using built-in pipeline, just skip the URP setup section:

URP Setup

Requirements

The URP version requires Unity 2021.3. Make sure an URP asset is present in Project Settings->Quality or Project Settings->Graphics. 

Configuration

To install the plugin correctly, you need to:

1. In Project Settings->Quality, double click the Render Pipeline Asset. It must be URP. 
2. Double click the asset in the Renderer List in the Inspector, under the Rendering section.
3. In Rendering->Rendering Path, change “Forward” to “Deferred”.
4. Click Add Renderer Feature below and add the Global Snow Render Feature.

Note: URP assets can be assigned to Project Settings / Graphics and Project Settings / Quality. Check both sections!

Once the Global Snow Render Feature has been added to the Universal Renderer,  continue to the next step:

Camera Setup (built-in and URP)

1. Add the GlobalSnow script to your main camera in your scene.

2. Check the Scene Setup parameters if needed and choose a Quality preset.

3. Optionally enable footprints, terrain marks, snowfall or camera frost features.

You can of course customize any of its parameters to match your game mood and requirements.
