I think the opacity is perfect. Pooled water turns into translucent ice, this ice is applied, ripped, and ravaged by the wind. The effect does a good job of showing this.

We're working on getting frozen ragdolls to stiffen up, so they don't bend, but will still fall and tumble around realistically. Ideally, if they should fall far enough, whatever body part they land on will shatter off.

There was a missing effect in that picture as well. So let me get it added and then I will try. It looks better in the game as you capature the emitter correctly :)

There are sparkles too, you can't see them unless you look real close tho... Will look great in game as it will be animated and the frozen corpses glitter like the morning snow ;)

Any 'chance' of PR3 in time for Phase 3? Certainly. ;p

There will be a news post later today which will explain our current plans.
