how did you manage to get the sun to glow over the tree like that?

Yes, very realistic. I like snow ground and it's texture. But trees is not
good. if you cover trees with snow, maybe seems realistic. Good start.

Yes, I think they are caused by the low roughness value and high specular
highlighting, I may play around with the settings a bit more if higher AA
doesn't get rid of them.

That's pretty much what I am planning to do with the snowman and the base of
the tree. Thanks for the comments.

Yes, if I can work out a good method of doing this (and if I have time
before IRTC deadline I will have a go at the footprints and track from
rolling the snowballs etc..
Thanks,

I have already added the snow to branches using a macro which writes the
blob data out to a file for faster parsing second time round. I have not
tried rendering the snow on the trees yet in the final scene and am not
sure how much it will add to the scene, at the moment I quite like the dark
of the trees against the snow and don't know if the snow on the trees will
ruin the effect. I will try it and decide which I like best for the final
image but I think they will require at least a small amount of snow to help
with the realism.
Thanks for the comment.

I was pleased with the sun as I was not expecting the effect to work that
well, the sun is a sphere with emitting media but I am also using megapov's
glow feature infront of the sun to enhance the effect. The fact it glow's
over the top of the tree was just an unexpected bonus..
Below is the source for the Sun effect.
#declare sunPos = <0, 500000, 0>;
#declare sunRot = <82, 10, 0>;
light_source

The final render should have snow on the trees, thanks for the comments.

You probably are already busy fixing this, but I think the bottom of the
nearest tree is problematic *because* the tree seems to be sitting on top
of the snow. Snoe has (shudder) subsurface scattering, so you ought to see
the tree through the snow a bit, darkening the area around its trunk.
The whole thing is wonderful. The snow is perfection. Will be a contender.

I thought that was an intentional effect to make the snow sparkle. I
think you should keep it.
