Let's go! I love the thing so this is right up my alley haha.

[@YakovlevArt]

Yes! It’s so iconic man. Such a great one to get inspiration from

[@Aptass]

Great video! Inspiring watch
What struck me halfway through is that the props, like barrel, watertank and possibly even the stairs should also have snow.
They have been out longer than the bodies and would likely be covered as well. Looking forward to the next part

[@YakovlevArt]

That’s a great catch. I also noticed that near the end of the video, but decided it was a detail I could skip. I ended up making a version with the snow on them, and at that final angle, it was not very noticeable so I just went without it. Happy to hear you enjoyed the video, and thanks for watching.
