Ok, on request I wrote a tutorial how I made the snow caps in my latest image - snowy river.
Unfortunately it is 2.7 MB pdf and can not be attached here to the thread. Send me a pm with your email address and i will send it to you.
We are working on a html version of it (of course) but this will take some days probably. Until then, for those that want to know quickly, the pdf is the only way...

Nope, I even have written the tutorial with Ve 6 Infinite screenshots. So it works in 6 Infinite too.

I just quickly did this in vue 6 and I used a flattened sphere instead of a cube

Great Gill. I think cubes and spheres have their strengths. In your case, spheres are indeed better, for roofs I would say cubes/bricks are because they give a smoother border. Especially when you play a bit with the rotation slider in the ecosystem settings to reduce rotation variations.
However, good to see first results so quickly. The tutorial seems not too bad.
