Snakes of the World

For June, I have three new sets;  Snakes (Base Set), Snakes of the World Volume 1 and Slithering Expressions.  Like most of my sets, the base model is generic and will morph into about any species. I've chosen 4 snakes for the base set and another 8 for a first add-on volume. The base set will have Cleopatra's infamous asp, a Western Diamondback, a Two-lined Racer and a Gopher Snake. My goal with this model was to finally have a Poser/DAZ Studio snake that doesn't bend like a hexagon nut... that can actually do that slither and look relatively smooth. It has tons of master controls that take most of the pain out of having to pose a 70ish segment creature. My snake is divided in 5 sections (the 3 middle sections with 18-20 body parts per section); each with its separate set of EZ Pose controls (Head, Fore, Mid, Hind and Tail). So it's now possible to bend just a portion of the snake.

Volume 1 includes many of the popular snakes found throughout the world. Included are pet shop favorites like the Rosy Boa and Ball Python as well as commonly found snakes like the garter snake and European Adder. Some of the most deadly snakes are also featured such as the Australian Inland Taipan, the King Cobra and the Eastern Coral snake.

Both the base set and Volume 1 have both native DAZ Studio and Poser versions and support Iray, 3Delight, Firefly and Superfly render engines. 

Slithering Expressions is a human/snake paired pose set. This set takes 4 iconic poses that are inspired from the ancient practice of “snake charming”, the Hopi Indian Rattlesnake Dance, the “Mother of the Wendol” (from the movie, 13th Warrior) and the actress and serpent poster from the 1980’s.

“Slithering Expressions” poses uses both male and female figures (DAZ Studio version: G8, G9, and Dawn/Dusk; Poser Version: La Femme/L’homme and Dawn/Dusk) along with Snakes found in Nature’s Wonders Snakes (Western Diamondback and Egyptian Cobra) and Nature’s Wonders Snakes of the World V1 (Coral Snake, Ball Python and King Cobra). Because the Nature's Wonders base snake model is generic, it is possible to other species from the set if you choose, with minor alterations.

The set also comes the props needed for snake charming; a Wicker basket (in 2 sizes) and a traditional Snake Flute. The props support the Iray, 3Delight, Superfly and Firefly render engines
