I've been wanting to do one of those snowy mountain scenes for a while, especially with a glacier.
This one took about 5.5 hours per core to render. Combined, it would have taken over 22 hours, which isn't too bad for TGTP.
Native Res: 800x600
Quality: 0.8
Terrain modelled in world machine.
The glacier was placed via an image map, generated via world machine's flow map output.
I used a modified form of the "pacific grove rock" technique for the foreground rock.
Everything but the glacier's flow map is procedural. Having fun! 8)
I love the snow..

Thanks Dhaval. With this one I used 5 separate snow layers, including the glacier.
I had it set up so the higher the altitude, the steeper the slope the snow could stick to. I also tried to get a freshly glazed look on the smooth rocks, and it seems to have worked out somewhat.
Pretty nice. I like the terrain. A lot.
