Snowy Land [Commercial]

3dLab

https://www.daz3d.com/snowy-land

This project gives you a unique snowy landscape with realistic rocks, stones, mountains, foliage, and landscapes.

This complete exterior scene includes complete sunny, cloudy, and night scenes (with 3 different sky scenes and 3 different render/lighting settings for each one). 

I hope like this.

It looks great! the one thing that stands out though, is that there is no snow or ice on the trees. Also fir/pine trees don't lose their leaves in the winter like deciduous trees, so it looks like this whole forest is actually dead. How hard is it to use other trees with this?

Not having snow on the (needleless) trees doesn't stand out to my eye, as it has probably melted away, it happens often when temperatures start going up and the days get longer. 

But all the trees being dead (no needles) does set a tone that doesn't necessarily fit the story.

allesandro's snow shader for materia meshmaker is really nice. would be cool to see vendors use that for their snow shading... im not sure if it's merchant resource tho.

Actually the DA Let it Snow product does a great job of adding snow to trees and such, I use it all the time adding snow to the trees in my snow scenes which is why the lack of snow in this product stood out to me. That is what I used for all the trees and bushes in this scene. I had to kitbash from several addons, including modeling some of my own for this environment, so I am always on the lookout for premade scenes like this one to save me time.

I kitbashed snowy scenes using products from other general 3d marketplaces since could never find any on daz marketplaces.  I still think Allessandro's shader is the best which is why i heavily endorse it.  It seems to have correct physical properties of snow. But i guess it's tricky to add this shader to snow if there aren't discrete material zones for the snow, unless you run mesh maker on every single object.  So for that reason the other snow-adding products are probably better.

There are certain 3d stores with realistic trees and shrubs with snow already on the branches, which i bought, but they cost a fortune.

Yeah, the less work I have to do on stuff like that the better, so sets like this are incredible time savers.  For what it's worth, Flink at Renderosity has an excellent seletion of trees, bushes, grasses, and rocks that come in both clean and snow covered versions.
