I created this North Pole image 8 years ago. (I added the text and starburst today.)

The bummer is that I also created a snowman. I built a virtual 3D snowman from scratch. All by myself!

It was so cool.

Unfortunately, I have no idea whatever happened to the file. I used this same North Pole background for the snowman. That is, I had the snowman placed elsewhere in this same image. So, the snowman would have been out of the camera range in this shot. And, if you’re looking at the snowman, the North Pole is out of the camera shot.

So, there is the possibility I didn’t save the file after adding the snowman, which is a possibility. I still have the North Pole file, so it’s possible I didn’t save it after doing all the work on the snowman.

Doesn’t seem likely as I typically save everything, but it is a possibility.

However, I also cannot find the 3D color rendering with the snowman. Additionally, I used the image (in black & white) for a client’s newsletter that year. That B&W version is MIA as well.

I’ve looked on backup disks and such, but no sign of the snowman.

So, the snowman has completely vanished. He’s digitally melted away.

It’s a shame, because he was pretty cool. Of course, that could just be my memory speaking…
