Here's my latest render.
The AT-AT walker was converted from an LDraw model,
Snow was generated using Gilles Tran's MakeSnow macro.
I think I need to add another layer of snow using smaller particles and
using a slightly darker colour to make the snow look more realistic. Does
anyone have tips for using this macro?
Thanks in advance
Reuben

That is very good Reuben.
Did you mean to send it to me as well?
Yes, something needs to be done with the snow but what, I don't know.
I suppose a lot depends on the scale. If it is a full scale Walker the
snow should smoother. If it is Lego sized maybe another layer to fill in
the hollows.
Did you think of adding footprints by placing non-visible and no_shadow
discs above the lower layers. Then removing them for a top layer to fill
in? (Just a thought)

A bit of an oops.
I should take more water with it. ;-)

Very good indeed.
I don't know about the macro as I have not used (yet). As far as the
snow layer is concerned, I think a smoother, undulating surface would be
better. It looks too much like cotton to my eyes.

Hi Reuben,
I would use a normal for the snow like in a material from Sean Day (snowman
http://www.irtc.org/ftp/pub/stills/2006-02-28/snowman.jpg )
#declare snowTex =
texture {
pigment {rgb <1,1,1>}
finish {
ambient 0
diffuse 0.9
brilliance 1.75
specular 1.5
roughness 0.0001
reflection 0.025
}
normal {
average
normal_map {
[1 granite 0.5
scale 0.002
turbulence 1
omega 0.4
lambda 1.2
]
[1 wrinkles 0.75
scale 0.15
]
}
}
}
#declare T1 =
material {
texture {snowTex}
interior {ior 1.31}
}

Have you tried subsurface scattering for the snow?
It'll take some patience, but I'm sure it's worth it.
The snow should have a more blueish tint (when using subsurface
scattering, set the translucency of blues and, to some degree, greens,
higer than that of reds).

I love the model for the AT-AT, but I think the ground and the sky need some
improvement. Do you plan to complete the landscape with some rocks/other
vehicles/hills/... ?

You probably know about Warren Elsmore. But I just saw this article.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-34543758
Could this be your next project?
