K, I know this isn't exactly bryce, but stick with me here for a sec. I've been using bryce for about a year now, an I know it pretty well, I've tryed to make snow a couple times, but volumetric things don't work the way I think they should, and I don't particularly like how using a flat texture looks, so I was wondering if anyone had any good methods on making snow in postwork, anyway, thanks in advance

Even though this is a volumetric,I found it to work just fine. Built it off Peter Sharp's tut at http://www.petersharpe.com/Tutorial16.htm

For this scene I had originally tried volumetric snow but it was too little for too long (render time) so I ended up doing the falling snow in Painter6, pepper spray brush. The snow trails were also done in painter. The snow on the ground was one of the basic snow terrains that put snow on the tops of everything but altitude sensitive so that it left the walls of the lodge and the sides of the tree mostly untouched.
