I did a test with this on a large scene, to see if I could choke it. Nope, PP2012 and snowmachine worked fine!

In related news, I need to get a faster machine. This took about 4 hours to render. (No fault of the snow machine... it was on higher quality, and I was using a large scene to push my system to the limit.)

 

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
