How to get rid of snow over aprons?

[mamu]

So much snow Is coming...
Did anyone get how to plow aprons?
Looks like (to me) the only option is making them really dark
Any suggestion?

I noticed that you can control the snow by applying coloration to the poly and the more you have blue channel coloration the more snow you get.

Did this apply to Polygons and/or Aprons? So less blue would get rid of snow? But then the apron colour would be weird...?

This applies to aprons for sure. Try playing with it, maybe you will be able to find a good balance. If overdone the result will for sure be weird.

Thanks for your replay and effort
As i said, making them darker ( pushing rgb down, blu has Little more effect than rg) of course makes the snow disappear...

But coloring the apron is not be a viable option, obviously, the Airport wont look like the real one



I Will try raise the question to zendesk, they have made possible to exclude snow onto 3d objects, maybe they can do something onto aprons as well

You can reduce the value to get rid of it. The only other thing that might work is a large planar object with a transparent texture, and no snow checked?

Nope, snow goes through 3d Buildings and "reach" the apron below,
The "no snow" in the sdk prevent the snow to set only *over* the 3d object
Same happens with environment occluder material, It stops Rain (wich Is Great) but not snow

Only way to try to control snow Is apron darkness (adding blu Is Just a way to make things dark)

Anyone as a working example with very light apron (e.g. concrete) with no snow?

I've noticed that certain materials have no snow, while others do. Experiment a bit with that if the specific texture you are using isn't absolutely necessary.

Ahhhh, sorry, I just realized this was a pretty old post...

Hi there, I know this is an old post, but did you happen to sort out how to get rid of snow on certain apron materials?

Some indeed work, yes. But others not.

I find it a bit weird, did this change over time? Im nearly sure when i made my airfield i got the snow deleted inside my tower. But now its snowing inside, yes.

Not sure why they didnt do this with runway material.

Now this one i really find even more weird.

The rattan objects and sofa and the sun umbrella have no snow ontop, everything else has.....

Ok, the longer i look at my project the weirder it gets lol.

Or this. One building covered in snow, the other one isnt. And the one roof is 50% in snow hehe. I dont get it.

I've experienced this weird behaviour too on my own scenery with both aprons and actual buildings. Unfortunately I think currently it's one of those quirks of the SDK that we're forced to work around

 

[Senchay]

Yeah. So weird. I made a quick look, i dont have the no snow option turned on or off anywhere. Will look at substancepainter, if i find anything that is different between the models. Usually i did all the very same... But i will have a look these days.

 

[kui fish]

has anyone found a fix for light color concrete yet? i dont know what else i can do since with live weather the snow covers the runway and taxiway too much and making the texture darker than this will not match irl

Also interested.
