Turtles?

I am looking for realistic turtles, particularly the southern red-eared slider.  Tortoises would also be welcome!

    I have all that DAZ has available, but looking for more variety.

    I have the sea turtle but it's in bad need of retexturing

    AM's "aligator snapping turtle" is excellent, but I would like some other species.  The "turtles lined up on a log" we see so often in the South are usually sliders.   Like to see a box turtle too.

    Personally, I'd appreciate a good north american wood turtle and/or a radiated tortoise, among others.  Oh, and a softshell turtle of just about any species.  Their little snorkel-snouts are adorable.

    When I lived in Florida I once saw a mud turtle the was about 3' x 3' not counting it's legs, neck & head. It was about as 1/2 as wide is the creek!

    Over at CP there are:

    Common Box Turtle

    Green Sea Turtle

    Leatherback Turtle

    Snapping Turtle

    Got them for free, but they aren't free all the time.  Now and then they have them on a good sale or free.  They're not very expensive, though.

    Thanks for the suggestion!  I picked those up a while back - they are are better for distant shots, and fine for underwater scenes.

    Yeah, those would be good too!

    They might surprise you if you use the iRay Uber shader/converter on them!

    The big limits are whether the model will take subd and how high resolution the maps are.

    Had to have been a case of mistaken identity, no species of mud turtle gets half that big.  In fact, the only north american freshwater turtle that even approaches that size is the alligator snapping turtle.

    I grew up in Fla., and I saw some reallly big softshells back when the Butler chain of lakes (Windermere, outside of Orlando) was wild and relatively unspoiled. This was in the '50's and '60's.  The record was supposedly a female that was over 28 inches long.

    Good point.  I will give the box turtle a try when I get a chance
