Hello. :) I Started my snowy mountains from scratch and turned them into this! If you want to know the difference between my other one here is a Q&A.

Q: What's different between this version from the other version?

A: I'll have to explain a couple of terms before I answer that.

First, what is displacement?

Displacement means that an object has texture or bumps.

What is specular?

There are three types of materials in real life there is diffuse, glossy, and specular materials a diffuse material means that when light hits a diffuse object it scatters in a bunch of directions. a glossy material means that if a ray of light hits a glossy object at 45 degrees it will always bounce back at negative 45 degrees. a specular material is a combination of diffuse and glossy where a ray of light hits the object at 45 degrees and bounces close to negative 45 degrees depending on the object it might bounce drastically off course or slightly off course.

What is fresnel?

Fresnel is the intensity of a reflection in real life the more roughness an object has the less fresnel it has but if an object has less roughness the more fresnel it has.

Now to answer the question I added specular and fresnel to the mountains and the snow on top of it and I added procedural displacement to the snow.

The shape of the models themselves is also changed instead of the mountains and snow being the same material there are both separate models and the mountains are no longer procedural.

Q: Why did you get rid of the old version instead of listing it as an update?

A: Because this new version is entirely different from the other one.

Q: Why do the colours look so unrealistic! The person who decided to use these colours must be blind!

A: Please note that different monitors turn information into colours differently so on your monitor it may look unrealistic but on mine it may look realistic. If the colours look unrealistic please try using this colour profile. If you don't know how to use colour profiles I recommend searching for a guide on youtube.

More realistic because of added 3% reflectivity, image has majorly reduced file size to support PMC, and image quality has been improved.
