Rename it as snow.mt5 or what you want, put it in your material folder, tweak the bump and the displacement and enjoy !!!

Thanks... This will be useful for some snow scene planned.

Wow - really got to play with that now, THANKS! ^^

Very convincing.  Thank you very much.  This is worth time pursuing.

 VERY nice snow material. Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you! Now how bout some mud for spring...lol

Don't eat the yellow snow!

 Cool! Thanks.

Wow.. that looks great ! :)

Awsome,  great snow shader - thanks! :)

It work better with ibl or idl, and if you go to the material room you see it use reflection ;-)

@ Porthos - I really like the trees!! Nice card.

I think i've put too many reflection .!.!

When I put in my material folder, I don't get a shader it stays a text document. Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

When you save it, change the .txt to .mt5  If you are still having trouble then it is your Windows settings.  I forget how to set them.  It was somebody here that told me so maybe they will come on and get you set up as well.

Thanks UVDan-The .txt was changed to .mt5, hopefully someone will be able to tell me how to change my Window settings.

My results with this look like what UVDan got; awful. Some more explanation of the settings you guys are using would be really helpful.

Should have waited until July.  Thanks for the script, will definitely give it a try.

That wacro is cool. I tried it on a preexisting scene and some of the props looked great with it. The ground, for some reason, developed "cracks", but I'll debug that. In any case, results were much, much better than what I got at first. Thanks! Oh, BTW, I'm using PPro 2010, so the wacro must work in it, too.

IIRC, one reason cracks can appear is Min. Displacement Bounds set too low or zero when Use Displacement Maps is checked.

Oddly, it seems to be related to the light, of all things. When I switched to the supplied lighting the ground looked sort of okay - at any rate, the "cracks" disappeared.

WOW!!! Thanks!!!
