Re: INVENTOR - Hermit Crab Shell

You need to use the loft tool. It's going to be a long process, depending on exactly how detailed you want to be. You need a lot of work planes if your going for a natural look (for pumps and inconsistancies). That's the feature you want to make that "part." And texturing is a whole nother story. You have to play around with texturing and know how to create textures to do that (not my expertise).
