Actually those aren't polygons, the snow's an isosurface using the gradient 
of the rock isosurface underneath, but I calculate that gradient using just 
2 samples so you get a nasty artefact. I could probably fix it with a bit of 
work. Personally I think the composition in #3 is way too boring to bother 
developing further.
