🎨Interactions Module

Overview

Link your world's materials to the COZY system for dynamically changing environments. Control terrain layer colors, material colors and values, and global shader colors and values with the Material Manager Profile. Material references are stored in the profile so that changes that you make to this module will be cross scene compatible.

Compatibility Information

❌ Does not have equivalent COZY Biome Module

✅ Requires the Time Module or System Time Module for day and year percentage calculations

✅ Requires the Climate Module for temperature, precipitation, snow amount and rain amount calculation

Key Features

Modulated Values

Modify a target value

• Terrain Layer Color (Gradient)

• Material Color (Gradient)

• Material Value (Curve)

• Global Color (Gradient)

• Global Value (Curve)

Based on an input

• Day Percentage

• Year Percentage

• Precipitation

• Temperature

• Snow Amount

• Rain Amount

Set your target, input and mapped gradient/curve and the material manager will automatically change the variables on your target.

Global Values

Snow

Set your snow texture, scale, and color here

Rain

Set your puddle scale

Usage Examples

Make your leaves change colors with the seasons

Add a new modulated value in the material module

In your new modulated value, select Material Color and Year Percent at the top. Now set your mapped gradient to look like this one:

January 1st is the leftmost end and December 31st is the rightmost end

Link your target material and the property that you want to change and then you're done!

Setup COZY to work with your global snow system

Every snow system is different so this example is a bit abstract however as long as your snow system uses a global shader float for calculating the snow amount this will work well.

Add a new modulated value in the material module

In your new modulated value, select Global Value and Snow Amount at the top. Now set your mapped curve to a curve from (0, 0) to (1, 1)

Then set your Global Shader Property Name to the name of your snow amount variable. Here I have used CZY_SnowAmount, but you can use whatever variable you like as long as it matches your materials!
