speed modelling challenge - week 47 - footwear

[Brodix]

Fastrak: thanks for the comment on the boots even thought it was not deserved.

Here is a Set Of Loafers

Modeled in Maya 6
Modeled in 60 minutes

[andoy]

Fastrak: thanks, i wanted to add more stitching on the sides and just behind the toes, to get more of an authentic western boot style but ran out of time.
You must see a few of them there in Texas or maybe even wear a pair.

Fastrak: thanks, i wanted to add more stitching on the sides and just behind the toes, to get more of an authentic western boot style but ran out of time.
You must see a few of them there in Texas or maybe even wear a pair.

The stitching on the top as you said, if very popular. Many times the leather is dyed in colors to help accentuate the stitching. Pretty cool.
Yeah, I see them everywhere. Many of them are very exotic looking too. It's really strange to see an old guy in jeans and dirty pickup, who just came off the ranch, wearing $800 pair of boots, but it's true. As for me...never owned a pair in my life. Pair of sneakers or hiking boots due me just fine.
Good job once again.

[JHB]

OK! I think this may be my last effort for this challenge.
Wanted to try a more feminine style.

Thanks for comments everyone. It's all good. :-)

I think Fastrak has this one stitched up even though we all put our soles into this challenge we've taken a leathering from the maestro again. I am not worthy to lace the boots of the master and I'm sure heel win again. :-)

[smallpiece]

Loads more great entries once again, i see :dance:
mboi- Thanks again for the comment..
pixel_pimp- Great idea with the 'Knights boots', and well modeled..
nph_assasin- Love the trainers, very clean and well modeled
Marty- Great slippers mate, you've inspired me now, I may have to do my 'Homer' head slippers...if I have the time
LESTAT- Thanks for your comments, appreciate it :) Very cool entry.. nice clean and well defined model...good job...

Sorry for not mentioning everyone, theres loads of great ideas and models...I'm just a bit brain dead today :hmm: :xx: ...good job everyone

I finally managed to model a pair of womens sandels...These were fairly easy, but all the time was spent moving splines..(oh how i love splines :wall: )

[vidiot]

So many good entries.
Haven´t picked up my favorites, - but there are more then 10 that blew my
mind! Took only the last page: Smallpiece and JHB - Fantasic work guys!
Also Fastrak (page 2), Rooky, Vince, Puckducker and (maybe) my favorite
andoy - your boots are made for walking! Cool.

Nice topic - hadn´t thought that it is that difficult.

I try KISS method, but I erase most of the details I had, because it just doesn´t look good with to much details (in my case!).
I stoped texturing after 2 hours - If I´ve choosen to put in more detail with texturing I guess I had to work another 2 or 3 hours on the textures.

[the_bully]

smallpiece

Very cool looks great.Being a a fellow cinema 4d user i feel your pain about splines

[mr_lemon]

tons of great entries...smallpiece your last one is one of my favourite but great going for all(fastrak andoy and other) one thing that comes in mind is that some model are really too weird and unweareable at all.so keep in mind that a footwear has to be put on.
another one from me.hope that my words won't put upon myself.
done in 60 mins in max rendered with finalrender one sky and one direct.

[smallpiece]

Cheers bully....
Yeah i've never been a great fan of splines, normally try and avoid them but sometimes you just can't get out of it.

Thanks mr_Lemon...i aim to please..lol...nice job on your entry, very slick.

[URs3D.net]

Smallpiece- Really Really excellent model, I love the textures!!!
It's amazing. I think your entry is for me the best here! Keep it up...
JHB - Your shoes are also amazing, I wish I could model such shoes??? (Dream On...)

On thursday I will get 3dsMax7 finally yipieee , there is also an hair modifier included? Or am I wrong?

[Antievo-3DT]

- I love your last entry Smallpiece! The model and the textures are absolutely stunning!
- Wow! That is really cool The_Bully! I love the texture, and the "wacky eye", lol. Cute/funny model also.

---

That is really cool The_Bully. I will have to ceep an eye on your progress.

I seriously have to learn how to texture my models soon, lol. I can't ceep
posting un-textured stuff forever!? I have only made the 3 things I have posted
here, so I will use that as an excuse, lol.

[the_bully]

Wow! That is really cool The_Bully! I love the texture, and the "wacky eye", lol. Cute/funny model also.

Thanks Mate for the comments.I want to see if i can do another one and pt more time into it. :smug:

[Antievo-3DT]

Haha! And not to mention "the gold tooth." NY classic feature, hehe. Nice detail, stylish!
I will have to ceep an eye on your progress :D

[fastrak]

FireFly
Nice set of loafers. Good detail with the chain.

JHB
That's 2 on one page...stop it.
Enty is excellant. Presentation is top-notch once again. Added logo to your work is great touch.
Shape is pleasing, modeling is clean, and very nice leather texture.
As for the rest of your post.....Oh...Good...Grief. (meant to be said with pregant pauses :) )

Smallpiece
Great detail. Your spline work really paid off. Kudos.

Vidiot
Thanks for the comment. KISS is a great way to approach a complicated subject. Good Job.

Mr_Lemon
Really well done. Love the detail on the metal piece. Excellant.

The Bully
Ha! Nice. Reminds me of those marshmellow peep candies!

Got another "simple" idea....see if I have any time to do it...work is keeping me away. AAAHHHHH.

[JHB]

I just HAD to have a go at these, seeing as it's freezing here tonight in Jockland. Maybe better shut that window? Anyway, I promise I'm away to bed now . (Very late again)

Fastrak — I am famed for my puns, I'll have you know. :)

[Henry_B]

very good entries this week!
to many to name them all but good work everyone, keep going.

BTW i recived today my Free Total Texture CD, so thanks to to the Threedy and 3D total staff.
thanks guys.

[JHB]

In no particular order —
Fastrak I actually like your slipper best. Must be my age ;) Love the use of the textures on carpet AND slippers. The others, of course, are magnifico.
Andoy Boots — Yeehaw! I liked your commentary, even though I have no clue about the Max techniques. Sounds good though.
D-Russ Loved the skates and your shoes fit the bill. (Who's Bill?)
Smallpiece All your entries are up there.
Jannik Hey — Cheeky stuff!
Vince Impessed by the reeboks. Obviously a sole man.
Lots of other good efforts going on but I'm too tired to press k e y s . . . . z z z zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Attack of the puns. EEK! Better go before I drive Fastrak insane. :)

[subcrocodile]

Smallpiece

[Rashika-3DT]

im sorry if this seems something random, but, since i am alone here, i must shout this out loud. PRAISE BE! EXTRUDE ALONG SPLINE IS MY HERO!!! does anyone else use this command? i love it like i love small shiny things and platypuses. the model that is currently rendering was created with *almost* no other command than extrude along spline. editable poly rocks!

but getting past my newfound button...
subcrocodile, I'm with you ont he growing up thing, the more i model for this forum the more cool stuff i find out (like extrude along spline! :P)

JHB, being from alaska, i have to give you props on those snowshoes, they look great.

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

Extrude along spline = Bevel Profile in 3D Studio Max... that's how I made the sole of my first entry. Wonderful tool isn't it? :) Tomorrow I'll have one more submission... I'd put it up tonight... but I need sleeeeeeeep. Got to be to work in a few hours... Mmmm... Sleep... :drool:

[Rashika-3DT]

a study in extrude along spline...

modelled in 3d studio max 6 in 55 minutes. textures are from the simbiontmax plugin. (very cool)

[Brodix]

rashika: **Standing Ovation** :dance: Sorry Now you must be killed...errrr taken to the cool place I take all good modelers who arent around anymore. Like Inspired or Orkron. :roll:

[Rashika-3DT]

Marty! what have you been filling firefly's head with? you arent supposed to be testing your brainwashing techniques on employees!

thanks firefly. i got a little happy with that new button... after i finished that model i started playing around with it some more and made some wierd stuff. i love the results that button gives... anyhow... off to bed... too much modeling and not enough sleep makes for a bad employee!

[smallpiece]

Great models everyone....
UrsiNMC, Antievo, fastrack, JHB, subcrocodile, vidiot- nice job on the red shoes, great shape, the_bully- great slippers man, like the hint of 'the_bully' style....Thanks for all the great feedback guys, and keep up the great work...

[gan3d]

a study in extrude along spline...

Nice work rashika. looks like you are enjoying with extrude along spline. Actually its there in MAYA also, thanks for reminding it. I almost forgot maya sculpting tool also. I will try to use these tools and lets see what i can comeup with when i have free time.

[eagle4]

hey everyone, i have been busy recently as so far as yet i hvaent had a chance to try to compete against all these FANTASTIC models, everyone si doing an awesome job!!!

hey .: MVP :. i absolutely love that snowboard. the flow bindings look really fantastic. i personally dont like to ride with Flow bindings, but your modeling looks excelent... if i have time i might have to try and model some snowboard boots... hmmm



eagle4

[subcrocodile]

extrude along spline is good,but if there is a little sharpness and rotation in the spline it suks,it works well only with smooth&smooth drawed spline.and i did not use them in my models in shoe modelling(how stupid me).

[.: MVP :.]

Thx eagle4 for your kind comments and nice to meet another boarder....roll on January!!!

[eagle4]

roll on July!!! i'm an Aussie!! we have winter comming up!!! (i was snowboarding in december and january in canada though...)

I have had some recovery issues in hand that kept me from this week up until today... But things are rolling still on Andy's watch... so you are still Big Brother'ed, don't worry.
Firstly I have to state that this is probably the first time in so long that I went through so many pages with close to no disapointing entries.
Thank you all for your cooperation and doing your best to fit within the rules.

It is especially impressive to see that everybody is doing their very best to present their works better.
Well good luck all.. your models are exceptional!

Now I have to get back to some of my 'Big-Brother'ing;

D-Russ;
I would be very greatful to you if you could share your techniques in making the model you have entered in your post #107.
It is very impressive and acceptionally discriptive. I too have tried modeling such and have not managed to get as far as yourself. If you would share your methods it would mean a lot.
Thank you
PKT;
Your post #204 is concidered a multiple post.. how ever you personally title it.
Remove the image or I shall be obligated to disqualify you as it is.
Thank you
.: MVP :.;
Welcome to the forums...
Your LW8 set on your image is more than acceptable and understandable by the judges part. Your entry is aplicable in the sate that it is.
But for the clarity sake for those brwosing the forums it would be kind of you to state somewhere in your post that it is Lightwave.
This is not an obligational demand.. It would be just nice since many here are in a journey to learn from others... And not always as experienced in software abreviations even if they actually use them.
Thank you.
Jannik;
On your post #224 ... your wire is acceptable since the modeling process for that area is predictable.
But I personally can't understand how your model is a foot-wear.. since the ball of the foot shall fall through.
The entry shall not be disqualified and is a nice one, that we are greatful that you shared.. but do note that conditions such are cared for in the judging process.
Good Luck!

Well thank you for all of your amazing entries.. good luck to all of you!

Here is my sandals made in 3ds max 7.

[PKT]

Sorry about that, I have removed it now.

[Jannik]

Black-3DT
thanks for the comment, it's allways nice to know what one is doing wrong or not ;-)
about the ball of the foot falling through hehe, just noticed now...
think my comment for that would be that it's a "feel the earth" shoe, and it will actually still be possible to wear it without dropping it cause og the lock... though I must admit it might be a nightmare wearing it hehe...

[andoy]

Black: good to see you are still watching over us

[.: MVP :.]

Yes sir, will do sir, thank you sir!

[Black]

Thank you for your positive responces guys...

Good Luck with the rest of the week.. not much left to go!

[bentura]

WOW Guys, there are some amazing concepts and models this week. Id like to congratulate everyone who has entered.

I had big problems with my PC this week and top that of with the fact that i just cant get my head around even starting a model like this. But i didnt really have time to think it out.

Will hopefully have a go next week.

Congrats again gusys, you all rule and deserve to win, everyone of you.

Peace.

Silo 1.4, 3D Studio Max 7, 60 mins modelling (Mostly tweaking and nudging vertices):

[the_bully]

I almost didn't post this but oh well.
My sad attempt at a women's sandal

Software: Cinema 4D
Modeling time : All 60 mins.(which was not enough for me :( )
rendering time : 11mins
touch up time:15 mins

[smallpiece]

Nice one Marty_McFly, great idea, looks good..
Great job the_bully, very well modeled, nice and clean..very good

[PKT]

Very nice Marty_McFly and The_Bully
Thanks for showing us the texture.

[the_bully]

Thanks guys for the comments.

[andoy]

the_bully:Love the blog idea, refreshing to say the least. everyone here should check it out and hopefully it will grow stronger and stronger.

[FairyTales]

Hi everyone, this is my first entry and my first post on this forum. I hope everything is correct with my submition, and by the way, yes it could be a footwear :eek: ;)

[Antievo-3DT]

I really like your work the_bully. You just ceep steppin' it up.
Thank you for unvealing the texture, and pleasing my eyes again :D

----

- FairyTales, grate idea! Lol, funny stuff - and a good model / textures! What more could one ask for? Good work.

[the_bully]

Thanks guys for the comments and please do check out the blog
Help me get it rolling :haha:

[mr_lemon]

thanks for the kinda comments guys,especially fastrak...the design of your object is always good...btw marty the extrude along spline command is not the bevel pofile modifier,in max under polyedit you could find such that smart tool that allow you to extrude one poly along a spline and let you select the number of edge,twist and other thing. with that you could easily do things like trees and obivously shoes :D
cheers

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

Thanks Smallpiece and PKT... They were actually going to be Spiderman Boots (The kind from the movies where the webbing is 3 dimentional and not just "painted" on) but after about 3-4 mins experimenting with it... I decided to go with my favorite comic book character's boots instead. :)

Bully: I often find that models that I get disgusted with are for some unknown reason the ones that people end up really liking. It's easy for us to get over critical of our own work because it doesn't match the image we've built up in our heads. Luckily there are some cool people here to encourage us to keep going even when we sometimes see "failure" within ourselves. Your model is great dude... I'm just glad I'm not a girl. (I have a hard enough time wearing sneakers and stuff... wearing anything with heels is just insane!)

Mr. Lemon: Thanks for clearing that up for me... it looks like I have a new toy to try playing with. Uhh... hey... wait a second. Don't you work for me? Yeah... my records indicate that you've been with us for quite some time. You should know better than to correct me in front of the whole forum like that. As my advisor... you're suppossed to pull me off to the side and correct me. :roll: (By the way... in your quote... the word you're looking for is "shot" not "shoot". It's an easy mistake... English can be tricky sometimes.)

[JHB]

Not saying anything about this. You never know who's watching :-)

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

Funny... were I come from they're called "Cement Shoes"! But I don't know anythimg about that!!! :halo:

very nice work,i liked it.
fairytales
great idea and texturing.

[fastrak]

JHB
Excellant Again. This is my favorite entry.
And while your freezing...I've been enduring record high temps....almost a 100 yesterday. So your snow scene looks very inviting right now.
Concrete Slippers gave me a big laugh. Well done. Now that's just plain fun!
Oh and the insane part...already there..just ask my wife. :)

rashika
Love the sandals. The technique you have been playing with really rocks.

LightX
Welcome to the forums. Glad your entry is here. Hope you have some fun. Nice sandals btw.

Lestat
Your millions is now split between me and your hitman. Thanks!

Marty
Wolverine is my all time fav. You captured it famously. Congrats.

the_bully
Great job. Nice pattern for the texture. Very clean modeling.

FairyTales
Welcome to you too! And your entry....big ouch! Nicely done.

Anima3d
Well you figured how to get the organic modeling in there.....kudos to you. Great Job!

[fastrak]

Cylce Boots
Well, I didn't have the time to plan this one out very well, so not overly happy with it, but it's ok I guess. Several things I wanted to do, but ran out of time. Darn clock.
After I rendered I noticed a major error. Do you see it? Too sleepy to fix it tonight.


info on the pic.

[Brodix]

Fastrak: awesome model. Your trying to make me hate you aren't you? It flat out kills me. I have made 20 pairs of shoes and I can't make anything that pleases me. :wall: :xx: :hurt:

[anima3d]

anima3d
very nice work,i liked it.


:o thank u, subcrocodile :D



Anima3d
Well you figured how to get the organic modeling in there.....kudos to you. Great Job!

thanks, fastrack, fantastic entry for u 2 ;) very real boots !!! congrats!

[ggutshal]

Ok here is my first ever entry into the speed forum. These were modelled in Silo and rendered in POV. Total modeling time @30 minutes, texturing time @10 minutes...

[Jannik]

is it ok to add blur in photoshop, or should I use the DOF in max if I want somewhat like the blur effect?
hate to be disqualified cause of a tiny blur hehe...

[LESTAT]

fastrak : nice modellin on the harley boots ... is it the " harley davidson cycles " logo patch missin in the wireframe , or that both boots fit the same foot ?

[Jannik]

#3rd entry

ok couldn't wait for a reply so I'm posting now ;-)

[Agamemnwn]

Great models everyone. I 've been (and still am) busy with my finals. But i wanted to relax a bit so i made this. Modelling 57 min, rendering 47 min, texturing 10 min. Maya and photoshop. Good luck to all

[Black]

Jannik;
A little bit of depth of field blur is acceptable.. You have to realise that we can judge only what we can see. There have been entries before that have had used it and gotten to successful degree's.
We ask you only one thing: What ever you want judged you have to show. Or better said it would be a good idea you do.
Hope this answers your question;

[Jannik]

Black-3DT
yeah ok ;-) think I'll leave it as it is then, thanks again...

[subcrocodile]

Fastrak i could not catch the error in ur harleydavidson work,but i must say that i am jealous of ur texturing in this work,man how u do that pretty great and stabil matching texturing? i will smash my head to monitor, lol.

[gan3d]

Great models everyone. I 've been (and still am) busy with my finals. But i wanted to relax a bit so i made this. Modelling 57 min, rendering 47 min, texturing 10 min. Maya and photoshop. Good luck to all

Hey! thats a nice pair of shoes u have modelled. I used to wear similar shoes to school few years back :lame: nice work.

[fastrak]

Jannik
Nice set of sandals. Love the graphic on the sole. The straps look like glass, but I assume you were going for a plastic look. :dunno:

Agamemnwn
Nice pair of shoes you got going there. Glad you could take a breather from the hectic schedule your education has strapped you with. Good to take a break from time to time. Detail on the upper buckle is nicely done. The curve around the back of the heal needed a little more of a lip on it to soften the profile, but it's all good just the same.

Lestat
Close, but no cigar. I do have a left and right foot boot, and there was no patch or plane for the logo. Forgot to model it so I just mapped it on the set of polygons just below the straps. The error is: the boot that is standing is the left boot, and the logo on Harley boots always faces the outside, not the inside as I have depicted. Pretty glaring mistake if this was to ever get to a client. :wall:

subcrocodile
Thanks for the comments. :)

[Antievo-3DT]

I love the "concrete slippers" idea JHB. I was actually gonna' make that myself, but the model I started on evolved to something completely difrent, lol. Grate textures also.

I was gonna' go for the cylinder shaped one (concrete in a bucket) with some leg/foot holes in it, lol.

[pixel pimp]

this my third and final entry for this week. it should have been my fourth, but after five attempts at modelling my trainers in an hour i gave up. i have noticed theres a lot of girls shoes being modelled, you guys are in trouble when your sisters/girlfriends start looking for their favorite sandals. and you'll have a lot of explaining to do when your mates come round and find girls shoes in your bedroom.

anyway, i hope you enjoy!!!!

[Jannik]

fastrak
got some slippers almost like 'em at home, really nice ones to wear hehe...
and yeah I aimed for some more plastic look, but gave up when I had used about 30 minutes just for that...

and to all your models hmmmm... I don't think there's any more to say besides what have been said allready... outstanding ;-)

[Justo]

wow really nice model fastrak :) what did you use to render those boots?!!
Simply Amazing.. great job man you progress with every model you make.

[fastrak]

wow really nice model fastrak :) what did you use to render those boots?!!
Simply Amazing.. great job man you progress with every model you make.
Thanks Justo
I have been using vray to render lately. Although, in this last one, most of the textures were just standard max materials, except for the shiny bits. Now that I have to learned to tolerate longer render times (I'm very impatient, 5 minutes is forever for me) I an considering going back to the regular scanline render. I feel I have alot more flexibility with my textures and lighting...just so slow. Hhhmmm, we'll see.

[Villane]

Not alot of time as always but here's my entry, i think you might understand where i'm coming from on this :roll: those of a certain age look away now :smug:

3ds max6
Modelled: 45 mins
Textured: 15 mins
rendered: 5 mins in vray

Fastrack your Harley boots rock mate :)!!

Great work all, back to the slog i go.

[andoy]

Fastrak: nice boots. a job well done in my humble opinion

[Agamemnwn]

thanks gan3d and fastrak for the kind words. Good luck with this week . I see many great models. fastrak i think you have a winner in a fw of them .

[Mussa]

sorry\

[the_bully]

sorry\

Its ok dont worry about it :smug:

[Mussa]

=)

[FairyTales]

Antievo,subcrocodile,fastrak Thanks for the kind words i really appreciate :shy:

[balukat]

Happy to see lot of great models....all should be the winners!!!(including me... :smug: )

this is my first entry for this week

[the_bully]

Time is ticking its almost over :cry:
Nice work from everyone this week, you can really see people getting better at modeling as the weeks go by.I took a trip back to the beginning
weeks and there's a big improvement from a lot of folks ( me as well)
Well im texturing my last one hope im done in time good luck to every one this week :dance:

[vidiot]

Phew - one last try.

To be honest - the under part was done in 10-12 minutes, but the boot killed me!

Should have done a "Highheel on the skate" - they are easier to model than boots.


Vid

[Glottis]

Here´s something for those who can´t walk.
Thought of it when I saw a couple of dogs with their hind legs on wheels because of an accident.

perhasp too many viewpoints.

Program : 3D Studio Max 6.0
Time :57 minutes.
rendering: Dunno

[melania]

i hope i made it. done in 3dsmax 7, in the full 60 minutes. rendered with vray. final picture in corel photopaint

[tokai]

I said "what the heck?" and made a 4rd entry.

Time run a bit out (I would have liked to change a few parts, mostly on the ribbon).

Well and then I messed up something (don't ask, I don't know exactly myself). Thats why I only can show the main shoe body in his smoothed form (in the wireframe), only the inner part is left unsmoothed. I already wondered when putting scene and textures together why the mess is so slow, but I first noticed it when I dissabled the smoothing (Hypernurbs) to make the screenshot that the control mesh still looked smoothed. And following Murphys law I didn't saved and there were not enough undo steps (Cinema has only 20 or so, prolly depends on memory usage too). :-(

Hope the wire is still aceptable that way.

(last but not least the JPEG compression does not like the red colour, thats why it looks so blured, but 100KB is 100KB)

regards,
tokai

[Antievo-3DT]

- Melania: I love that shoe! Grate model, render and texture. I simply love those shapes.
- Tokai: Those are grate! Good job. And a good idea also! I was kinda' waiting for someone to do that :D

[the_bully]

Well i think i made it in time :)

It took me 5 tries last night to model these and i kept running out of time.
I was going to give up but decided to give it another go on my lunch break.
It was not easy and theres a lot of details still missing :(
I also tried to get that reflector look on the logo( you know when light shines on your sneakers) had to do it in post.
well here it is
The Bully skate shoes

Software: Cinema 4d
modeling time: all 60 mins(which is never enough)
rendering time: 20 mins
Post work: 20 mins

I am back and this time with shoes :) Probably the most famous shoes in the world.
60 minutes to model, 25 to texture and approx. 4 to render. In 3Ds Max 7.0.

Small remark to wireframes: I had to collapse the wire several times so I could proceed. So you have here several stages of the wireframe "before smoothing". The one to the left is final, middle one is one collapse before final and the right one is almost the beginning before first smoothing.
To model without collapsing is to have a limited modelling capacity (for me anyway :)).

Anyway: I hope you enjoy the image, because that is what counts :)

[mr_lemon]

[hammering3D]

Hello ppl,
Like allways amazing works, I've been watching U form the shadwos and really enjoy the show, but not time to come in. :cry:
But like in the last competition in the last 100 meters I find some time and come in :wave: . But poorly pre plan model, because no time for more. :hurt:
I actually done the model in 30 min, and the rest to 60 is tweeking (most ruine) the model, did't find so fast wath detailes to put in, so start to playing with vertexs to give it a smoot(real) and not rough look, but I finish with an ugly mesh :eek:

Anyway, congratulation to all and good luck,
And offcorse I can't wait to see the new subject on the new chalenge, maybe now I will find the time, see U :wave:

Software: 3ds Max 6
Modeling Time: 60 min

- Tokai: Those are grate! Good job. And a good idea also! I was kinda' waiting for someone to do that :D

thx. for comment. :-)

Actually I didn't wanted to make another woman shoe after the cinderalla one, but the originally planned 'foot+leg in plaster' (really wonder why noone else had that idea ;-) ) sounded too difficult, not because the plaster, but because the scene would have required at least 2 modelled legs incl. feets to look interesting a bit. :-)

[mr_lemon]

not bad as you say man...and they look really comfortable,good one hammering3d

[hammering3D]

tnx mr_lemon,
u'r right at least they look soft.

[the_bully]

yes yes yes,good job bully...before or later you'll explain us how can you come out whit that hard good look on your texture...btw your blog is going good,let us know please!

Thanks mate.
Im not sure what you mean by hard good look but i used Hi res scans
of materials like straps on my bag. And theres a Option in Cinema 4d that
puts a shaper filter on the renders
thats pretty much it
thanks again for the comments :)

Well good luck then

[thoughtforms]

Hi. I just wanted to share the model i did for this challenge but didnt not manage to make it in time. I just hope it is ok to post it here.... good luck to all the candidates!

[Brodix]

thoughtforms: Nice, if those were on time you may have had a good running

[Rashika-3DT]

i agree, quite nice.

firefly. enough of the puns. besides, noone could have a good run in those shoes :P

[Black]

Heard of a Tina Turner?

[Rashika-3DT]

lol why, did she run in those shoes? if so, shes certainly gained a new respect from me... i would have broken three ankles trying to run 5 feet in those things. :/

[Black]

No;

She runs, dances, jumps, hops, skids, spins in shoes with heels MUCH higher than those.. I think she would dance the nutcracker in these much more comfortable ones.

Chek her out.. she IS a woman that deserves all the respect that she can get.


Black

[Rashika-3DT]

wow... shes got some good skills... she ever take those of any sweet jumps?

but does she got any nunchuck skills? (lol sorry, watching napolean dynamite again.)

[Andy_k-3DT]

Sorry for the delay folks, we are still playing catch-up.

here's the results for the footwear challenge.

As usual the standard was high but quite honestly some of the shoes here may have been a little uncomfortable - I realise

it was a tricky subject, so blame Black for this one and congratulations to all who entered.
