Snow v1.2
The Snow animated gobo is somewhat complicated. In order to have complex snowflake shapes, a folder named
"snowflakes" must be created within the
Mbox folder and numbered .vtxa files (1 to 254) must be placed into it.
.vxta files can be copied from the model_cache folder into the snowflakes folder.
In the example below, the left-hand image shows the default (000) snowflake shape: a round flake. The right-hand
image shows several different flake shapes: the shape is set to random (255).
If the shape is set to a particular value between 1 and 254, the corresponding numbered shape from the snowflake
folder will be displayed. If no corresponding shape exists, it will display the default shape.
Animation Speed controls the rate at which the snow falls.
+ The A modifier selects the shape of the flakes.
+ The B modifier selects the number of flakes on the screen at one time.
Texture Scale (on the same layer) will affect the size of the flakes and Z-rotation will affect the direction in which the
flakes fall.
