Hello , i make shell with rhino than convert it to base mesh with tsplines to export it to 3dsmax

Great texturing! The specularity adds a lot of realism!

[Seghier]

Thanks TheCrazySwede

This looks a lot better !

The "foot" of the snail looks much more real with that wider "skirt".
Suggestion from what I see comparing to real photos: tilt the house a bit forward .. the edge of the house can "bite" a bit into it's back.  This should "connect" them more together.
The glossy-slimy-wet look does seem real, but comparing to real photo's, it's mostly the underneath that has the slime .. no ?

[Seghier]

Hello Philippe and thank you for you nice reply
about the house and the back i see photos sometimes like what you say and in other photos no connection between them
and the wet i think it is real in rainy day but i will try to reduce glossiness

[PhilippeV8]

hmmz .. it probably depends on how the picture is taken, no ?  Use of flash and/or angle etc.
Either way, though I don't like the beast, the render is great already

[Seghier]

Many thanks Phillippe
yes the angle of camera make difference , the same shell with the same material have difference reflection in the last two images

Hey Seghier,

All the best,
Voya

Im truly glad you like them, its just too bad i didnt take more photos of that snail on the road surface..... if only he went other way i could get the other side of his shell but it is what it is Use them however you like !
