Something witty and pithy
Thanks mmmmpig!
I've tried to put in glaciers manually in PS, but it's a problemmatic process as the snow is procedural here- as opposed to an image amp which would make it easier. So, the glaciers don't quite connect correctly with the snow flow.
Going in the right direction tho.

Monks, do you want me to generate some glacier maps from the mountain ?
Yeh, let's give it a try- I bet the erosion would completely alter the mountain but... so what? The only concern is that it takes too much off the height, so maybe respan the terrain to the pre-glacial heights if you know what I mean.
I can upload the terrain to the ME-DEM ftp...I'll do that later.

If you can get me the height info then I can just do the snow and glaciers and you apply that to your model so keeping the original erosion. When I move snow about I can either erode as I go or not, it makes no difference to me.
Do you want a greyscale snow depth map or a full HF2 style water height (depth) map as the result ? Also, do you want runny snow or thick viscous style or just take my best guess ? And do you want solar directional heating applied and if so what direction - like the image lighting ?
here's the terrain I'm using:

erm, I think a .ter for snow depth. I'll be using your maps for all the snow- so I'm guessing both. I'd like to see the glaciers in there- should be cool. Stick the lighting in as well as it should mix the snowline up a bit- I'd like to take some shots of the other side of mindol as well- GTS produced some pretty interesting features on that side I remember.

Cool, on the go...
Just remind me, whats the peak height of Mindol and the general average temperature at ground level. I have it at about 16000ft and 18degC at mo. Thats gonna give snow about half way up as it runs at a drop of 2deg C per thousand ft.
Also, I have lost my ftp login for skindustry can you email that over at some stage as ill upload a .ter file to it later.
