Haven't been posting stuff here for a while, as always, but I just want to share a tip for those of you who wanted to create a "snow" effect in their generators since it's approaching winter in some regions (or has it already?).
I have already made a plugin a while ago called the Power Rain Plugin, originally intended to create rain effects (and all sorts of rain effects, including lava rains and acid rains), however you can also turn this into a "snow plugin" by tweaking the options (like the intensity, speed, weight, etc.) to turn the raindrops into snowflakes! You can learn more on the plugin page to learn more what these options do.
Here's an example you can play with to configure the options based on your preferences. You can also take a look at the rain plugin's main example to show how you can make other kinds of rain effects, not just snow effects.
Be creative and share what you have built with this plugin here! Also please feel free to add something to this explanation if you want to (and which update you'd want to be added into the plugin)!
Some notes:
- You can make the snow effect more realistic by applying variable values (
{1|2|3}or{1-9}) on the options as demonstrated by this remixed example by rud_bo on Discord. - The snow effect example on the plugin page uses a dark background, as preferred, however if you want the snow effect to be visible even on light mode, make sure to use a translucent black or grey color or any contrast color for the snow (again, as demonstrated by that remixed example).
- If you want the rain/snow effect to be behind the generator contents, you can put this CSS into the HTML panel (inside of a
<style>tag):
#rainContainer {z-index: -100}
That's a brief explanation for now! FYI, I've been really busy for the past couple of months and haven't been able to keep up with generator updates for a while, although I'm still have some determination to continue the generator journey pretty soon (hopefully not so far distant in the future).
