Hochgebirge (high mountains)
First attempt for a glacier; here, in the making, at it's beginning. It's easier to critisize then doing better, hence I owe this effort to David. He didn't put it that way, but he's right: the mat is more important (and difficult to handle) then the terrain itself. I'm not overly convinced by the result but consider it as a valid start.

Sorry guys I replaced the mat and it should work now. Fiddled around half an afternoon to get it right. I still don't know exactly, how this happens. But after about the 10th export, the mat seemd to behave as expected.
Interesting It is good to see a bit of reasearch going to putting together materials - I nearly missed this pic because of a number of unfortunate incidents - such as my computer being flattened to mend XP and my timeing belt snapping on my work van (which is still something of a trauma) - but hey, these things are sent to try us, so anyhow, enough excuses from me, materials, the basic tactic I employ is...er well just tried to download your mat, thinking I might work on it a for a bit of fun but it seems to be broken because all I got was the bluebellwood mat - oh dear. Suppose you could always email it to me if you felt so inclined.
My sky? I didn't do anything special to the lighting for the pic sky. I just took the deafault sky and added some haze. nothing special. also, the more I look at that mat the more I appreciate it. Could you upload that material? I think it would look good on a terrain like david's "getting closer to the ice".
Sky I went to great length to get that hazy sky, but I do agree with you. It looks boring, even though it could indicate a change of weather for tomorrow. I tried that pic-sky idea of yours, but it is not so easy as it looked in the first place. Challenging to get the light right. Now, I appreciate your pic with that sky even more.
Good start! I, personally, like the mat better than the mountains. Also, the sky needs some work if you want to get the feel of a high and snowy place. the volumetric clouds, however, are a very good addition
