About 🔖Physical Weather Fx

Physical Weather FX introduces dynamic weather effects to Blender, offering rain, snow, fog, and wind with a single-button setup. Users select scene objects, activate the addon, and receive a ready‑to‑use weather system that includes customizable presets for sunny, stormy, or snowy conditions. Interconnected settings ensure that changes to precipitation, temperature, or wind automatically adjust material wetness, shader types, sky appearance, and ripple effects. The addon features real‑time splash simulation on colliders, procedural sky and lighting with cloud layers, volumetric clouds, lightning bolts, and noise‑driven mist. Only one Weather FX system can operate per project; performance is optimal when low‑poly collider proxies are used, especially in scenes with high polygon counts. Compatible with Blender 4.2 and newer, it has been tested on early 4.4 Beta and 4.5 Alpha builds.

Features

• Realistic Weather FX shaders apply custom shaders to objects, transforming them in real time based on weather conditions
• Procedural sky and lighting with customizable cloud layers, wind-driven motion, and global illumination
• One-button scene setup: select your objects and the weather system is ready
• Realtime splash simulation where rain hits colliders, including animated objects
• Wind affects clouds, precipitation, and ripple direction in puddles
• Interconnected settings, so increasing precipitation wets materials and a negative temperature switches rain to snow with snowy and icy shaders
• Procedural rain and snow simulators with collision, wind, and splashes, plus volumetric clouds, lightning bolts, and procedural mist

Best for

Blender artists creating atmospheric outdoor renders or animations that require realistic rain, snow, fog, wind, and sky effects.
