Snow Chrome

I know normal SENMM reflects the ground as brown, but how to do it reflecting snow? ???
I can\'t imagine that simple white would do.

Hmmm, difficult one.

I think white is the only color to use when reflecting snow, but I would blend it with grey towards the horizon. For the sky, use a darker colour than normal. I\'ve seen models that started with light blue and blended into almost pure white. I think when you do this, the metal will look too white. So my suggestion is to create a darker sky (blue, or something like dark clouds).

These are only suggestions, I have never tried this!!

Not that I have gotten very far with NMM yet, I would think if you included a small stone or foliage in the snow then used a reflective blob of either green, grey, brown etc. it would offset much of the white that would be distracting.

Don\'t know about the objects in the snow... this could make the reflections look messy...
