The result of Snowflake macro. The idea was borrowed from
the posting in this newsgroup (by Steve 12 Dec 2001).
See the source in p.b.s.f.

I remember that one.

is also made with a slight modification of this technique.

Hey, nice! (Some closeups of individual flakes would be good tho...)

Are these 3d? For the sake of usability in a realistic enviroment.

Nice.

The whole snowflake is built from 12 triangles.
So it's 3D but... very thin :)
If you need Z dimension try to use isosurface
with those pigments.

Shouldn't it be "snow crystals"? If snowflakes looked like that, I think 
   even a gentle snowfall would be dangerous :)

Uh-oh.  Looks like at least a vague relation to cellular
automata.  Better give credit to Stephen Wolfram.  ;)

I've used the same technique in my Snowman
image, made Christmas 2001 (You can find
it in my widescreen gallery). I've always wanted
to make a macro which uses triangles and
real 3D-Structures to make flakes for close-ups.

Anyone remember the intro scene of "A Mouse tail"?
Snowflakes are falling to the ground as russian
houses are burned and the mouse head for a ship
to go to "Amerricaaa" :-) The facettes are seen so close-
up, there are highlights visible... I always wanted to
do that at some point, it just looks terrific.

Regards,
Tim
