the pine trees as of now, each are two trees...one with the green needles, and one with the snow mat for the second set of needles, this second tree is shifted up half a point, and towards the camera...to give the impression of snow covered needles, however not all show the same, and will need a tad readjusting...i will also be adding clumps to the branches and along the trunk of the main tree to the right....the pillars have been lowered alot, and i've even begin to play with different lighting, tho i like this the best so far.... I will work on it again later this afternoon, and hope to have a repost by morning...(this evening, we're helping a friend do some work in her kitchen of her new house) Everyone is welcome to the snow mat and the terrain, if ya want em, tho i'd have to ask...LOL since i hope to put this in the challenge this month, lol keep the terrain for something else...LOL feel free to use the snow tho, if it works for you... Thanks everyone, Jen
