Thanks Thomas, and well spotted.. Reduce, reuse and recycle as they say ;-)

Hi Bill,
Yes, I think the grid lines are a result of me using a crackle texture in the
snow, it has a fairly high turbulence .25 so I would have thought that would
remove the lines but am guessing that is the reason (if not I am stumped).
Ahh, I brushed the snow off of the wall but was too lazy to clean up the snow on
the ground (or was it I was too lazy to model the snow on the wall...) Of course
I think you are correct here and I will add that to my final tweaks of this
image before a final render.

Hi Nekar,
I would look for some fresher stuff if I was you, it is only 9 degrees (C) here
in the UK so I have to say I am a bit jealous.
All the textures are procedural (except the leaves/tree which are XFrog so come
with image maps).
The door is (as Thomas spotted) pretty much a copy of the one in my Old Royal
IRTC train scene http://www.irtc.org/stills/2006-08-31.html just with a
different texture applied.

Agree with the others, that snow is awesome. Something about its geometry isn't
quite perfect, but with the realism of the scattering and glinting it simply
doesn't matter.

The first day, for the falling of the snow
The second day, for the sun and the melting of the snow, with a bit of smog
The third day, for sightseeing and taking some shots with a camera... ;-)
Apart from some details is such a great snow that it feels the need to
walk in it.

It was over 32 degrees C over here. I would love a place that doesn't go
over 23 in summer :)
I've never seen real snow close up before. We had some sleet last year,
but it never even showed on the ground. There were no snowflakes, just
pinpricks of ice.
I remember the train scene - but not the doors :)

Yes, it really shows the great potential of POV-Ray, thanks for keeping the
dream alive, to you and the POV team ! :)

Hi(gh)!
> I've never seen real snow close up before.
But perhaps from a distance - do you live in sight of the Drakensberge?
Which such 10,000+ feet mountains like Thabana Ntlenyana or Cathkin
Peak, there should be some snow cover during most winters - even though
South African winters are mostly dry... or what about a winter trip to
Lesotho?
See you in Khyberspace!

I remember seeing snow on the Drakensberg mountains when i was a child,
but yes it was from far away. I will have to go and visit Lesotho some d
ay

Your almost melted snow looks convincing to me. The dirt lines are
indeed to straight. They should follow the ridges as it protect the snow
under it from the heat of the Sun.
