The new Environment tool lets you build weather and atmosphere directly inside Studio. You can turn a normal scene into a snowy location with falling snow, adjustable snow zones, blizzard wind, soft whiteout haze, and custom snow fields placed on selected objects.
Snow fields can be shaped with different surface settings, sparkle, thickness, roughness, and material options. You can also place footprints directly in the viewport, adjust their size, depth, softness, color, and organize them across multiple pages.
The tool also includes snow for objects and characters, so props, clothes, hair, and body layers can receive fine snow coverage instead of looking separate from the environment. With the new Objects tab in Soft Body, you can change the shape of the snow however you like - create mounds or pits.
For rainy scenes, Environment adds falling rain with adjustable amount, speed, size, color, wind, source zones, and collision settings. For now it's just falling rain.
