Abstract
This paper describes the method I used to generate realistic 3D printed seashells, from the point of view of their
general shape and of the patterns that decorate them. The method, and the associated program are general enough to
cover a large range of existing seashell specimens. Examples are given. Comparisons with previous works are made,
limits are highlighted, giving directions for future works.
