Snakes are found on every continent except Antarctica. They are elongated, limbless reptiles of the suborder Serpentes. Many species of snakes have skulls with several more joints than their lizard ancestors and relatives, enabling them to swallow prey much larger than their heads. To accommodate their narrow bodies, snakes' paired organs, such as kidneys, appear one in front of the other instead of side by side, and most only have one functional lung. Around thirty families of snake are currently recognized, comprising about 520 genera and about more than 4,170 species.
Nature’s Wonder Snakes contain 4 popularly known snakes, ranging from the Egyptian Cobra (or “Asp”) which Cleopatra met her end with, to the most commonly known of “Rattlers,” the Western Diamondback.
The generic model, as with all Nature’s Wonder base models, is capable of creating many diverse species from a single 3D mesh. From Cobras and Rattlers to Boas and Pythons, the model and its morphs provide support for hundreds of different species to be created. The model is divided in 5 sections; Head, Fore, Mid, Hind and Tail with the 3 middle sections having 18-20 body parts per section. The sections has its own separate set of EZ Pose controls, so it is possible to bend just a portion of the snake rather than the entire snake.
The set has both native DAZ Studio and Poser versions and supports Iray, 3Delight, Firefly and Superfly render engines.
