Weather Effects

Weather particles provide the main moving layer for Rain, Snow, Hail, Fog, Fire, Wind Wisps, and similar effects. Configure the presentation and movement controls that the selected effect actually exposes before adding filters on top.

FXMaster particle effects also appear in Foundry’s Scene Weather Effect field. That route is available if needed, but it uses default values without FXMaster parameter controls. Most users should use Foundry Scene weather effects only as a fallback or quick default option rather than a normal FXMaster workflow.

Recommended workflow

1. Select side-view or Top Down behavior when the effect supports both.
2. Tune the available density, placement, and movement controls at the largest camera zoom expected during play.
3. Add background accumulation or token interaction when those options are available.
4. Add filters, lighting flashes, or SoundFX last.
