Hey, looking great Elaine! I like the nice warm glow of the house! I think your snowy tree texture looks good, but your welcome to mine, just let me know where to send it. Which brings me to a problem though. Varian, do you thint its OK to send the .mat file even though it makes use of the default cherry tree bark texture or would I have to provide the snow texture and write out the mix? Thanks for the compliment too, Elaine! :) BTW-If you meant the ground snow texture, I'll send that as well. Rich
