This is just about how I want it. I may add another girl peeking around one of the trees. This is a render with sunlight off. There's one blue light on the ground plane behind the camera right and one white light at a 45 to the left behind the camera. All other colors are from the high ambience. Color perspective is set ar R5 G5 B6 so everything goes white at a distance. Suggestions and comments welcome. I'm kind of cross eyed at this point from looking and may be missing something.

Is that an owl peeking from the back?:) there's a brownish snowflake darn in the middle.. distracting.. Love the fairies! I like the way snowflakes turn big and small..confuses the viewer..what size are we..lilliput or giants? I wish I was one of the fairies..

I think this is lovely, and it looks soooo cold! :-)

The only recommendation I can think of is that the solid snowflakes close to the camera have a matte material, and I tend to think of snowflakes as icy-transparent. You could re-texture them and just plop-render those areas, to avoid a long re-render of the whole scene.

Two other questions:

1. What are those stick things on the ice in the foreground?
2. The terrain in the middle on the right, it sort of looks like we're seeing under it. Is that my imagination?

I'm not a big fan of the largest flakes, but if you like 'em, no prob. I would also like to see a frost trail on the ice behind the 2 skating fairies, I think it would add to the sense of movement on their part. I guess this would have to be added in post, but if you like the idea, you might find a way to do it inside Bryce. I really like this one, Electro. John

I like that idea of Tjohn about the trail. When I did a skating image I made the cut out trail by using the sharpen tool in photoshop and a small brush.

Wooohooool! Faries having fun. Outstanding work. I only have one question. Where is the Color Perspective control?

The bird is a cardinal but with the color perspective on it's kind of dark. The dark snowflake is one of the pinecones. I duplicated the one in the foreground and the needles, offset in y 0.2, and added a snow mat to make them look like snow was building up on top. I did the same with the pinetrees. There is a trail of snowflakes leading up to the girls feet. It's applied to a square with a transmap. Unfortunately, the iceburg texture on the ground plane washes it out. I agree the big snowflakes are not working. The others were built up on a layer using PSP and picture tubes. I rotated the layer as I pasted so all the flakes aren't straight up. I'm thinking of also creating a blue glow layer first with streaks and lights coming back from the figures before putting down the snowflakes. Thanks for the input. I'm rendering now.
