This model is intended for those who need nothing less then the highest photorealism for cinema quality renders.
An 'ice age' or, more precisely, 'glacial age' is a generic geological period of long-term reduction in the temperature of the Earth's surface and atmosphere, resulting in the presence or expansion of continental ice sheets, polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers. Within a long-term ice age, individual pulses of extra cold climate are termed 'glacial periods' (or alternatively 'glacials' or 'glaciations' or colloquially as 'Ice Age' ), and intermittent warm periods are called 'interglacials'. Glaciologically, ice age implies the presence of extensive ice sheets in the northern and southern hemispheres; by this definition we are still in the ice age that began at the start of the Pleistocene (because the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets still exist)
