That's because shadows on snow are blue. I forget if it's because snow is made of water and water naturally reflects blue light better, or if it's because anything white would have blue shadows because it's getting secondary lighting from the blue sky and snow is just the only one we typically see in such mass quantities. Or a little of both.

Wow, looks nice. We will have only the snowman and the snowmann? I mean, we can add more hats to the snowman?

Pretty sure the idea is you put the hat on yourself using the separate models for the in-game ones

That turned out great. Not sure the base is a good idea though. If I want to have a little mound of snow under it, I can just raise the ground a little bit. This isn't a figurine for putting on a bookshelf.

Hey could you possible split all the parts into separate balls? So I could have a snowman with just the base and top if I wanted.

For that, would have to do it all again :/

Ok then, fair enough. I'd love to take a look at it in 3ds max myself to see if I could do it however.

I think I might try my own hand at a snowman, I'll split it up.

Am I the only person that thinks that's a great snowman as is!? (Other than the base, which is getting removed.)

I don't think we need another snowman in the pack, this one looks fantastic enough

no wait

I got it

nine snowmen, one modeled after each of the classes

and then adapt them all into MvM robot reskins for an Attack of the Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons map OK just the nine classes would be enough

And an "Warning: Road not plowed" sign. Just because those exist too.

Please don't use the Mann Co signs though. Follow the art direction of the other overlays.
