Drifting snowfall overlay

Overlay falling snow: flakes in three depth layers fall at different speeds, sway sideways on sine paths, vary in size and soften with distance, drawn on a transparent rectangle over the scene.

How it works

Shader type
canvas_item
Parameters
snow_color (vec4 = 1, 1, 1, 0.9), density (float = 0.55), fall_speed (float = 0.15), sway (float = 0.35), wind (float = 0.1), flake_scale (float = 14), aspect (float = 1)
Use it on
A ColorRect above the scene covering the area that should show snow.
Result

Limits to consider

Flakes are soft discs, not crystal shapes. Each flake is confined to its cell, so very large sway values clip at cell borders.
