Winterwolf Valley

I put together a new image using Vue this weekend. I felt inspired to do a snow scene. The procedural terrain I used for the snow took forever.

Interestingly enough, Vue hit me with a bug that turned out for the better. The winter pear tree that I was using in the foreground had a rather terrible default material. I tried playing around with it when suddenly the tree took on the same texture as the mountain in the background. Nothing I could do (including restarting my whole cpu to clear the memory) would change the material after that. All the edits would just be forgotten the moment I left the material editor. However, it turns out that I rather like the way the material looked on the tree.

Also, I used a quick trick that turned out nice. To get those miscellaneos sticks coming out of the, I "buried" a dead tree under the foreground terrain.
