These look real good, but how many does it take to make a snowball, and
more importantly how long would it take to render:-))

Also to make a realistic snowball or snowman the flakes would have to 
be crushed and squashed, a snowflake probably only looks like that while
it's in the air falling towards the ground, I'm sure it'll get bashed in
when it hits the ground or at least have some edges knocked off. 

These do look very pretty, I'm sure I'll be using them some time around 
christmas, thanks for sharing.
