What did you try? Maybe share your ice tree or a simple scene Simon Reeves London, UK *[email protected] <[email protected]>* *www.simonreeves.com <http://www.simonreeves.com>* *www.analogstudio.co.uk <http://www.analogstudio.co.uk>* On 12 January 2015 at 11:27, Morten Bartholdy <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for the input Thomas.
