Vue d'Espirit. It's a 3d program with focus
on terrains and vegetation. Crippled demo
available, full program is quite expensive

That was not what I had intended. Short of changing
the entire castle is there anything I can do to stop
the scene shouting Disney?

A crucified mouse in the foreground?

BTW (and CBTP) I am always slightly alarmed by the sight of a roast chicken
in Donald Duck's fridge.

    Just because Disney uses that sort of thing doesn't mean we should let
them co-opt it all the way.

    Maybe increase the 'ornateness' (or perhaps just the Height) of the
cones for the towers inside the wall, culminating in something really big in
the center.

Yeah, it looks. But, I'd color it more blue. Real snow in night time is
blueish, not pure gray.

I was thinking about that too....  What would it look like if you had a
slight blue ambient, then shined white light on the snow?  It might not be
feasible in a nighttime scene like this, but has anyone else ever tried to
accurately model the reflection of snow?

Here's an idea.  The media can stop shoving Disney at us 24-7 so that, maybe,
people would say "nice castle" instead of "oh God more disney".  That and all
the other crap that makes stuff stop being original.  That's being optimistic
though.
