Something a little easier. First test on modelling, texturing, and
lighting. Modelled in Wings, prodcedural texture.

Really nice shoes, and really nice to see fellow Wing'ers. That's the two
greatest freeware tools - Wings3d and POV-Ray!
Well, the shoes are very dark - not sure it's unrealistic - but it doesn't
help us in judging the shape.
Regards,
Hugo

Hmmm... with images like this, I might get my wife to become interested
POV-Ray. :-)
Great job!

If you trace the horizon line of the ground plane (cylinder actually),
you come to a point where it, the far inside edge of the heel of the
farther shoe, and the far top egde of the throat of the near shoe all
intersect at the same point. According to the norms of good composition
this is a no no. But I am not sure whether it adds or detracts to this
picture or just doesn't matter. Any opinions?

LOL. Well I *am* a fetishist, but *not* a cross-dresser. Does your
wife have a designer/brand she likes? Via Spiga designs I like, obviously.

Thanks, The grain is still a little coarse, like calf, these shoes would
look great in a very black, fine-grained kid. But not patent, I hate
patent.

Made extensive use of the "Intrude" function with this model. Also the
new "Slide" tool. Bigtime use of the slide tool actually.
The next challenge is to get some really fine detailing such as
stitching without getting artificting or ridiculously heavy mesh. Two
approaches I want to explore are: to try and simulate sub-d techniques
in-so-far as looking for ways to apply fine mesh just to certain
features with graceful transitions to more broadly treated areas, or,
making the mesh solid and using csg differencing to achieve certain
topography.

Yes, I was definitely trying too get the rich effect of a very dark,
lusterous black, and at the same time deliver tactile surface quality.
For I long time I got either the look of patent leather (yuck!) or
leatherette (equal yuck!) or something similarly artificial looking...
or else just too dark to see any surface form.
I started getting results approximating what I wanted with two
"breakthroughs". First, cranking the specular up over 1 in the finish.
Second, specifyinging a poly_wave with a fractional exponent value in
my crackle texture.
Hope I can refine the results further.

Nice one Jim! That's excellent Wings modelling. Nice textures too.
Now, where's the equally nice fishnetted legs? ;)

That's incredibly professional looking... are you a shoe modelist, or
it is a hobby only? I know some professionals here who will kill to have
such skills.
About the composition, I don't find anything wrong. But I never
learned "norms of good composition"...

I think i see what you mean, and I think i see why it could detract. post a
variation and let us judge? It might be better to actually see most of the
heal of the back shoe. how are shoes normally displayed, at angles to each
other instead of parallel?
i'm no art theorist, but i'm always interested in composition theories. some
of the compositional ideas artists used in classical painting is pretty
cool.

Mostly local brands, names you'll hardly recognize because I'm all way down
in Brazil. :-)
Anyway, the known brands are way too expensive here for us to afford. :-D
Cheers!

Thanks for the praises! Hobbyist only, though if I could earn a living
making cg models of shoes I would be a happy individual. This is really
my first full fledged attempt at modelling shoes in mesh. There were
some very early attempts in sPatch when I first discovered POVRay
(making a glass slipper was an obvious idea to try), but it was beyond
my patience and skill at the time. Couple years ago I got involved
briefly with Maya and did some models of generic shoes using nurbs.
They can be seen in my entry for Worlds Within Worlds. That entry also
has a shoe modelled entirely using POV generated splines ( the ruby
slippers ). I also played with that POV-spline technique in modelling
shoes for abortive entries for "Gardens" and "Fantasy". I had intended
to have topiaries of shoes in the one and, you guessed it, a crystal
glass slipper in the other. My current interest in the subject was
revived when I needed a break from my "Primates Series" efforts.
Most of the shaping is much easier in polygon mesh. The real power came
with a combined use of the Wings' Extract, Extrude, and Intrude
commands. The main drawback is the inability to create spline-curved
edges but clever use of the Bevel command can be used to improvised this.
Maybe I will make a short tutorial. Shaping a shoe is really not so
difficult and it would demonstrate some of the power of Wings tools

Incredible. Best picture on this group in a good while. The finish looks
perfect, very similar to the finish on the brand new black leather boots
I've got here in front of me.
I think there's always going to be some issues with hard lines behind
thin objects like these shoes. Thinking about it, I suppose that's why
family portrait backgrounds are always crowded bushes and trees rather
that highways. None of that matters, though. The image smokes, and is
professional advertisement quality at least.

Thanks Shay. The boost comes at a time when I can really use it.
