Geometry Swap + Scaling maybe?

I think the way to do it would be to place the entire sectional path down with it slightly lower than the ground level and then slightly raise it to ground level as the snail/slug passes over it

Even though I stick with Carrara and rarely use Daz Studio, I am sad that Daz is phasing out the 3DLight rendering engine.
I rendered all my DS stuff with it in the past, and never really used Iray. Of course Iray is much better, but also soooooo slow. Will people use Iray from now? Filament?
In any case, if I got it right, there will be another, last DS4 release on december 29 that will include 3DLight. After that, you won't have it anymore...
Daz 3D
I'll definitely keep the backup of older copies of the app!
Another way to download it offline, is going to your Daz account >> product library and then filter for "Daz Studio 4.x". You should be able to backup the current copy of Daz Studio.

It looks like I got it WRONG: the current version of Daz Studio 4.24.0.4 has ALREADY REMOVED 3DLight support! :-(
I am reverting to previous version.

Ahhhh, back to previous version of Daz Studio.
Available render engines including 3Delight.
Feeling better already!
There are good chances that DS 4.24.0.3 will be the last that I will install... :-/

I added my snail to the video clip. The base set will have two variations of each (Common garden Snail, Pacific sideband, Common garden slug and the Banana slug). If there's interest, I'll probably add more in future volumes. It will be released late January.

I should add that this animation was all done in Poser Firefly.

Any chamce you could be convinced to make some aquatics? I would love some good and accurate figures of Nautilus and Feathered Star.

I may go there eventually,... it's just I haven't done too much in "under water" imagery yet

Gads! That video is amazing!

My Parrotlets were released today... and Slugs and Snails by the end of the month...

 

[Ken Gilliland]

I'm also working on a freebie for my upcoming slugs 'n' snails release...

Great "Caution"!

Great "Caution"!

I guess my usually masked misanthropic assumptions are showing through

Some of my latest projects... I have Pacific Parrotlet Breeds and Antpittas coming out this week.... and in March, more of my efforts to do slimy and squirmy things-- in this case Worms and Grubs.

 

[Sunfire]

Your Parrotlets are gossiping! One wonders what about.

That huge worm shown with the human hands is the "Great Earthworm" from Australia.. I'm including the Common, Red-headed, Chestnut, Quebec and Giant Earthworms in the set as well as the White Grub (that comes from Beetle larva) and the Witchetty Grub (that comes from the Witchetty Moth) and is about 2.5-3 inches in length. Yes, this is the grub Aboriginals use as a food source. They known for their high protein content and unique taste, often described as similar to almonds or scrambled eggs.
