Hope everyone likes it. Took ages to get it looking OK. Who would have thought it would take that much effort to make a snow globe. (5 years and 3114 days ago)

Each time I did a render it took 3 hours, the final render took 4 hours. I think it's all the glass and reflections, plus I have a water sphere inside the glass sphere which is refracting the refractions of the glass so I guess it gets a little complex.

In this scene the snowglobe is in a glass display cabinet. I was going for realism here and hope I did it well enough, its a huge image, A4 international paper size 300dpi. (5 years and 3114 days ago)
