That's what I thought. The gap is a little too large, so I think I'll pull
the forest closer unless I find something suitable for the expanse.

It is a little overdone, true. I want to tone it down somewhat, problem is,
reference pics I found so far have that much snow on them, the branches are
all drooping under the weight... Additionally, the amount of snow makes it
easier to see how much there really is, and to get a sense of when it's too
much.

That should actually be paper, nailed to the tree, but I'm not yet sure if
that's final.

Yup, that's on my to-do list. The forest was just a rough first
implementation to spread it, the snow was added as an afterthought to every
tree within a 250 unit range.

> slightly more bark effect on main tree ?

I'll try, though I like this one. Too much makes it obvious that it's just a
normal map, so it has to be carefully checked.

Nope, four new different trees for the forest, with random height/size and
position. Maybe I need to enlargen the randomness in height a little.

Eh, thanks for the praise... :-)
