Learn how I built my snow material with exposed parameters for melt amount, enabling snow to melt naturally into water. This material is a part of my Signature Series collaboration with Allegorithmic:
Use this tutorial as a detailed step by step guide for how to recreate my Melting Snow from scratch.
This tutorial follows a walkthrough format, where I go through how I built each of the components in the graph including:

- Shape manipulation
- Snow, Crystals, and Clumps
- Melt Water and Slush
- Setting up Melt Parameters
- Diffuse, Normals, AO, and Roughness.
