In a direct...100%...FLIPSIDE of my previous gallery upload. I am uploading one of the Christmas backgrounds that are being uploaded to the freebie section 'AS WE SPEAK' ... also, I did not sign any of these in case you wanted to just copy them straight from here and use them. **** NOTE - this particular one is my favorite ... a straight up render too .. cept a few sparkle bursts ... that's it ... this one took and I'm not kidding you .. a little over 14 HOURS ... yes, I said hours to render. As you look closely at it .. you'll see why I waited that long for it to render. (usually, if it is going on 15 minutes ... IT IS OUTTA THERE!) LOL. Patience is NOT one of my strongest virtues. lmfao! It is so pure and full of positive movement and the glittery 'feel' of it, just makes your 'spirit' glow and feel 'refreshed'. I hope you feel the same about it, for this is what the Christmas SPIRIT ... is all about. God Bless, and PLEASE ... use this, it is my gift to whoever wants it. True Christmas Spirit. I used the following to create this. *Frozen - Stock photographs by Lucie Grenier (35 of the most pristine photos of ice, drips, drops, cascades, shaved, crushed, and everything inbetween. All natural and all show the power and beauty of Mother Nature at work. *Christmas tree prop from the freebie section here at Renderosity.
