I was just about to comment that it looks more like... well, dunno - shaving
foam for instance - at least not snow :P

Looking forward to seeing a "true snow" version of the shot.

Pity it's quite a bit too late for this season's christmas... spring's at the
doorstep, and you come up with a snow macro... dz, dz, dz... :P

It's just in time for the high quality snow render
to finish before next christmas :-P

Considering the highest quality of the two uses photons in the ice...you 
might be more correct than you think. :-p

Very true, the texture kinda "sells it" though, as it turns it to more of a 
"snow encrusted ice". I am also playing with cylindrical components, and a 
mix of both.

Yeah, it was kinda random. I still have a few optimizations to do, like 
geting the number of failed tests down for complicated objects like trees.

The shapes of the icicles are prettymuch nailed down at this point, and they 
blob together as in nature...but more work must still be done for that part.

Here is an example of the texture macro set to "ice" and "draft quality". 
Sorry the image is so small, it takes a while to render. When I fix my RAID 
drive failure, I'll render a bigger one.
