Well... I have had a lot to do lately and have been slow at getting going on this again... I have added much more falling snow, some pigeons, a bluejay, a dog, and just for you mloats.... some yellow snow. lol I do need to put some footprints in the snow yet. What I am having trouble with is getting some snow on the branches of the trees. Any ideas would be most welcome.

what about a lil mini terrain shaped like piles of snow?

Looking great!!

I agree, making the snow a lil but uneven could add to the image. Other than that it's really nice, i like the snowman :)

Every new step forward you take with this one Wade makes it even better. It's looking very good and I agree with uneven on the snow, bumpy is good. As for snow on tree's, I haven't tried it yet but I was thinking of using the mud and snow terrain material on the leaves to give the effect of snow on the tree's. 8) Catlin

Thanks for reminding me how much I DON'T miss snow. LOL

If you find out how to put snow on the trees let me know, been trying to work it out for ages.

Swade, as Catlin said, try the mud and snow terrain and see the demo pic above for the filter changes. Looking good so far.

P.S. In the leaf material, component 2, don't forget to change the mud brown color to leaf green. And in the tree trunk material in the DTE, in the filter for component 1, change that from the snow puddle algorithm to the quantize.

This just gets better and better.......

I just tried it and even without tweaking it it looks pretty good. I even surprize myself sometimes. lol 8) Catlin

I tried a "frosted needle" texture in my "Winter Cemetary" picture. If you like what you see, lemme know and I'll email you the texture. The snow covered trees were made by duplicating the trees, raising them a few BU's and making the trunk a snow material. Only other suggestion for now would be putting a treeline in the background that you can't see past, or giving some illusion of a horizon. Treeline terrain may be best because you can hide its imperfections in the snow/fog.

ok so do you want trees covered in snow or clumps of snow? hehehehe

Thank you all for the input. It is much appreciated. Thanks also for the mini tut Qwest. I am going to try it out. Looks like a good idea. You are very welcome GG... lol 8) Will try your idea too Catlin. Just might work. 8) Will do chohole... The snow on trees has had me stumped for a few days now. Jen.... I will do like you said with the small terrains for the close pine tree. The clumps of snow on the branches will work good for those. Elantriell... The snowman is a 3D model of mine.... Can send it to you if you want it. Let me know. 8)
