The shell from hell



Looooong week last week at work, but cool project. We have to do a opening for a TV special called "The Human Mystery" and its about people who have developed super-senses (like the blind who have amazing sense of touch or hearing, etc..). Anyway, for the opening I had to model this bizzare shell (shown upper-left in the above image) that is apparently the only one in the world like it. Needless to say I was a bit anxious about handling it while trying to figure out how to model it. In the opening, a guy will be 'perceiving" the shell with his eyes closed, and the 3d shell will be kind of rotating and turning in between his hands from a wireframe to the rendered version.
Below is a turntable of the model so far...
