I do like him 
… he looks cool … part real and part character. Nice job. 
Niiiiceeee! i love this snail, nice textures aswell, now u need to put the saliva of the snail and the trail of it.
looks really good, though what do you mean by 4 passes?
Ralf,
Its beautiful. Great snail, nice alpha work.
What do you mean by four passes?
is that composited in photoshop with layers
like: Alpha, shadow, Occluded ambent, and something else?
Great work Ralf,
Thx,
HanKO.
HAHA! Super! I love it!!
Marvelous work, I love the texture, and render… great job!
Brillant Stumpf! I love your clean sense of design. Everything seems imbued with a sense of humour.

Wow, all I can say is Sweet!!
I have a question tho…did you just vary tones on the passes or did you change materials too? I have been kinda playing lately with that and am curious if you did change materials…which ones ya used.
Thanks for sharing your awesome stuff!!!
Excellent work, the shell detail is fantastic. I would also like to know what you mean by four render passes and assume it’s so that you can composite in photoshop but any explanation would be very interesting

All in Zbrush? Good show.
Maybe do a salt shaker next?
Thanks for kind of comments.
Composing in Photoshop is never the same way.
Classical you need a color-diffuse, shadow, specular and ambi-occlusion pass.
How you compose is try and error. Hope it can help.

cool!
Very nice character !
Looks like a fine snail to me, Ralf…is there a fast way to change all the materials to just one, …or do you have to do that one by one ?

I have the urge for Escargot Ralf, care to join me? :lol:
Very nice simple approach as with all your work. It’s always a joy to see.
Wonderful and inspiring as usual, and a well presented explanation. 50.
Great work, must have been fun to build! How did you get from the concentric circles that your zsphere model would display to the spiralled snail shell? Do the shell and snail share the same material?
excuse me Ralf i dont understand when you say diffuse,oclussion… what really you do, which are you settings?
Thanks in advance

I love it, original!!!
I’ve heard about ambiant occlusion, but I don’t see really what it does…
