Best snow/ice shaders and planes to use in Daz?

paulawp (marahzen)

Almost half of the story series I'm working on takes place in the winter, so I'm in need of having good snow and ice options on hand. Considering today's .99 "Christmas Flashback" sale, it looks like a good day to pick up any snow/ice related products I've overlooked to this point. I am primarily looking for shaders and snow/ice props that I can lift to use elsewhere, rather than specific snowy settings (that may or may not have any application to my project). I have a lot of them - but looking over today's sale offerings, I see there's still a bunch out there. Any opinions on the subject?

I don't do PS postwork, so not looking for brushes or postwork options.

They aren't part of the sale, but I absolutely love Ultimate Ice for Iray. Included shaders are really nice.

From the sale-available products... I own Snow and Frost Shaders for Iray, but I haven't played with them enough to recommend/not recommend, so I'm just highlighting them as an option. Same goes for Frozen Glass Shaders. And Iray Snow, Ice, and Ash has some decals that might be useful to you, and the props could be useful too (I've used them several times).
