Still having a rough time with the clams. Usually when I create a complicated object, it gets more and more real-looking as I add each effect - movement, shading, etc., But the opposite seems true with the clams. The shells looked good opening and closing without the mantle, and the mantle looked OK unpacking itself and spreading out. But when I put the two together, it takes on a slightly unrealistic look that has been difficult to overcome. So far, I've just been dealing with one clam, so maybe it will look better when all three are in position.
