Swanlake

[Redwolf]

Testing my swan model out, If i feathered this properly, the model would be too heavy in embees, so i roughened it up a bit to simulate feathers.
there is algae floating beneath the water and its not a shader

The swan is not bad. I think that UV maps would work for the feathers. I would keep working on this for some time. The swan has a great deal of potential; the model is pretty good.

Very nice; I like this one.

You should work on the bill/beak, it's too bulbous. Otherwise it looks good. A more subtle bump, perhaps, or, as Henry says, some UV map.

 think ill redo the whole model, just seen some more ref pics, this bird has a body of a goose and the neck of a swan and the beak of something else
