I'm trying to get there as well, closing in on the parallel approach to
realistic vs colorful, I guess Steve's bumpmap might be helpful for that.

Thanks for the praise, continuous refinement over the last week, I'm not
a born modeller. ;-)

Hehe, thanks. Yeah, I'll see which approach works better, but I'm still
guessing that I might want to try a realistic version of a single snake
when there's less deadline-pressure.

Of course! I can feel the photorealism magnet pulling :-)

No one is but the more you practice the better you get, and in reply to your
reply to Sean. I think a lot of the attraction of the snakes is the way they
are posed together.

Thanks. I'm not sure if this is the final posing, I like the heads, but
their bodies are shifting the image's balance to the right, so I'm
thinking about either having the lower snake curve its body more to the
left to counterbalance, or changing their pose altogether... We'll see
what works best.

> This last week, I've been trying to model a morilia viridis: a python.
I looked at the image first and said, hmmm, looks like a python and then
read your post! =D
I have a corn snake (rendered by god!) and when I saw your 3d python it
made me think of it, it's a snow white corn (like albinos, but it's
missing more than just one pigmentation, so it's like white and offwhite
some places).
Good job!

Oh, forgot to ask, for your final image, do you expect to give POV-rats
to it too? hehe
But I'm just wondering can it be animated (ie articulated)? I've been
thinking on doing a snake movement algo in C/C++ and OpenGL (to just
quickly see the movement) the result could then be exported to a povray
anim... unfortunately, I don't have time for any of these things anymore...
Keep up the good work!

Hmm, scratch that. According to this image,
http://www.reptilis.org/morelie%20v/imageZoom.htm, my above statement isn't
true of 'all' snakes. Can't say I've ever noticed the scales on a python's
head before though...
So, you could still UV map your model and just scale down (bump_map wise),
the part between the eyes to the nostrils. Sorted m8.

I hope you post further versions. And there is nothing wrong (IMO) with an
asymmetrical picture. I like the composition as it is.
