Snake mama Altar
A snake mama defending her babies. An ancient greek-stiled altar.
A fun project to practice most of the skills I've acquired in recent years. I've always wanted to make a snake or something similar, but was afraid that I don't know how to approach scales in a high poly model. I'm pretty happy with the final results.
HP mesh (snake)- 500k
LP mesh (snake)- 25k
Scene poly count - 61k
