Just playing around with the new meta shapes and radiosity with a decimation or two, and a dash of alt S ( just a dash mind you )
I like the look of the second one. Nice 
Snowflakes - I don’t like yours for one reason - it’s octagonal, not hexagonal. The way that water molecules join together in ice prevents them from forming octagons (the bond angle is wrong) - otherwise it’s cool (pun intended), just fiddle with it a bit to drop it to hexagonal.
What you have made is a technically a ‘dendrite’ (snowflakes form differently at different temperatures… the colder it gets the less intricate, basically)
Chemistry of snowflakes:
Similar but with sample pictures of the different snowflake shapes:

I like the funky cubes though
I’m pretty sure that the snowflake wasn’t meant to be perfect. And to us less skientific (yes, that’s a K) people, it’s a snowflake. I dunno which I like better, probably the snowflake…
I like the snowflake.

Thanks guys!
scary snowflake.
imagine if millions of those fall to the ground, what kind of a snow would it make? (only one way to find out)
