These icy doodads are rather nice. The transparent ice layer above the rocks makes it more interesting than just a piece of mesh with an ice texture, and helps doing great atmospheres in-game.

Very cool and very useful! Great work, God Bless!

You should wrap the bottom of the spikes.

The bottom of the spike IS wrapped. I intentionally selected a black part of the texture for artistic reasons. It's basicly like a cut-out for the camera.

I understand why you think that is better, but it looks ugly and detracts from the terrain. I think it would look better if it was just wrapped with ice like everything else; the user can clearly tell that it's not just an ice spike floating there, it's obvious that it would be attaching to a roof that the player simply can't see. But the empty blackness just looks ugly.

Obviously it's your model and it's your choice, this is just my opinion.

No problem actually, I'll just upload a second version of this with the ice texture wrapped there, then people can choose which they like more.
