I think I've finally got a feel for RC4 sslt ... used here on the
interior_texture to /try/ to give an appearance of depth, played around
with different ior values then settled on 2.9 (porcelain) ... also tried
the new "albedo" feature to tune the diffuse and specular properties.
The radiosity didn't turn out too bad either!
On another note ... Anyone know how to give then shell walls thickness?
If you're up to the challenge, I got the objects from here:

Very nice. Two comments.
The interior is perhaps a bit too much like silver? It could maybe use
some iridescence.
The left-hand shell looks to me more like the inner cast of a fossil
one. Are open windings like these found in living shells? Just a thought.

Thanks, great minds think alike ... after I'd posted, iridescence came
to mind. As for the openings, the two shells (right) I've seen RL
examples very similar ... can't say that I've seen ones like the left
one, but thought it was interesting enough to include

To be honest I wouldn't recommend. Iridescence has always been broken
(and hasn't been fixed) in several respects, being very troublesome with
advanced lighting conditions (e.g. it doesn't respect the falloff of
spotlights). You may be better off with an AOI-based texture.

That's a thought indeed. I did not remember the status of iridescence in
version 3.7, but aoi would do fine I guess.

Fair enough. We do not need to reproduce RL in all its aspects do we? ;-)

Thanks for the irid fix, I was able to get a fairly decent
"mother-of-pearl" ... also used albedo, and updated area_illumination

Looks great!
To see my changes to POV-Ray help people get good results without too
much hassle, that's what makes my day.

[drools]
Yeah! That's it exactly :-)
