About this effect
Falling Snow places multiple layers of snowflakes at different simulated depths, each drifting downward at a slightly different speed and size to imply depth of field. Flakes gently sway rather than falling in a straight line, and the loop is built so no single flake pattern repeats obviously. Flake density, size range, and fall speed are all independently adjustable.
