Description
I actually started this before Christmas, not expecting this recent bout of frigid cold and snow. I started rendering it around Christmas, but as it was going to be one those "forever" renders I rendered it off and on between other images. it finally finished today after 116 hours. Yeah, silly right. That is not a typical render time at all, but I let it go anyway. There are contributing factors that make such long renders and part of it is the large size I usually do, but other factors can add up also, for that "perfect storm".
Anyway, a seasonal image that is suddenly very appropriate with the nearly foot of snow and 0 degree weather here. Vue 2014 and a DAZ deer and some Content Paradise squirrels. Also, if you look close, you'll see a cardinal from Ken G's Songbird Remix which is now at.....I forget. Ken, if you stop by here, feel free to leave the name of the site you are now on.
Thanks for stopping by.

This is just jaw-dropping, Art! Wow! It's worth every second of that 116 hour(!) render. I can almost feel the cold but beautiful environment. Superb Vue work, my friend - what a way to start the year!

If you don't take a minute to zoom this image, you miss everything. I can see why it was a longgggg render, it is beautiful. It looks like another blast from the North is due starting tomorrow here. Stay warm buddy.

Wow, that is freaking amazing! Full view is an absolute must. I did spot the cardinal. I can imagine to create realistic snow their must be hundreds of millions of angles to render and this would contribute to the time, as well as the fine textural detail of things like those tree trunks. I love the broken snow packs on the steep mountain slopes - pre-avalanche conditions and so much contributing to the realism of this mountain scene. There is also great composition with the snow pack creating a leading line, right to the cottage, which itself seems to sit just to the left of a thirds point.

I like how the moss & frost shows on the tree. It really is a well done image. Even if it took a month of Sundays to render. ")

Fantastic winter scene!!! It has been a long deep winter here in Michigan already and high temperatures Monday and Tuesday are expected to remain below zero.

I wouldn't mind living in a place like this... If it had high-speed internet, and proper plumbing, and electricity, and maybe a helipad for grocery runs... Either way, this is incredible scenery.
