The sage-steppe ecosystem to the casual eye, is an arid and monotonous expanse of sagebrush that early European settlers could not wait to traverse on westward journeys. Yet, this “flyover country”, which may appear devoid of life and thus immune to human impact, is in fact the most widespread ecosystem type in the United States, one that teems with wildlife. I used the snow machine2 on this render which tested what I thought was 'overkill' in memory (32 gig)-- I guess I'll be getting another 32 before I render a complex snow scene again lol. Poser in Firefly with no postwork. Models include: Dusk, the HW horse, CWRW's Rodrigo, Demin and Pinto textures, my NW's Sagebrush Habitat, SBRB Flock Formations (Canada Geese), and SBRM Gamebirds (Gambel's Quail).
