Yesterday we got an ice storm. I'm a huge fan of naturally-occurring 
transparent objects, and ice is one of my favorites. So I cobbled this 
together over the course of the day. I know it's not a pine tree, but 
I'm not that good with Arbaro yet. :)

The ice looks a little fractured, but that's because it's done with a 
union, not a merge. The merge looks better, but has racked up about 7.5 
hrs, and only 51%. Next to try: make the branches bend downwards (that's 
a lot of heavy ice there, you know!). I borrowed the fence idea from Tim 
(but it doesn't look nearly as good...I was in a hurry).

Happy Holidays,
~Mike

Merry christmas to you, too! I think some people are getting tired of saying
merry christmas to everyone who sends them out this way, but I'm persistent.

Nice image, a little more texture wouldn't harm, but the ice looks great.

Nobody has to wish me anything if they don't want to. ;)

In the works (along with more realistic tree branches).
