Pixel-art snow drifts and glossy ice patches
In your harnessProcedural textureMIT
Generate a tileable pixel-art snow and ice tile at a chosen art resolution: lumpy drift mounds with lit caps and blue shadows, sparkles, glossy ice patches with diagonal highlight streaks, rims and cracks, and dirt for trodden snow, with per-pixel normal, height, roughness and occlusion maps. Use for 2D winter levels.
What it takes and gives
- Entry point
- generate
- Maps
- albedo, normal, roughness, height, ao
- Parameters
- art_pixels, mounds, ice, streak_spacing, cracks, sparkles, dirt, relief and 3 more
- Presets
- default, frozen_pond, packed_snow, glacier

Limits. Stylized pixel art with the light from the top left baked into the mound shading and the ice rims; drifts are Voronoi mounds and ice patches thresholded noise, not a snow or freezing model. Streaks are fixed diagonal highlights, not reflections of the scene. Roughness and height are values per drawn class, and the normal map treats each art pixel as a flat facet. Output sizes that are not a whole multiple of art_pixels give art pixels of unequal widths. Occlusion is a blurred-height estimate posterized to eighths.
