Thanks!

Well, it is not only a finish. This texture is a bit complex and is
macro-based. It has 3 components: one for near distances (mainly based on
normals, in order to see the flake structure of freshly fallen snow), one
for the sparkles (scale-independent), and one for far distances. Because
snow remains very bright even when the sun is quite low, I used specularity
with large roughness.

Though I am not 100% happy with the result, I find it good enough to be
usable. But I'll rework it for fine-tuning.

    Regards
