Cottonwood - W

The Model was created with nicely Detailed Textures for High Resolution Renders and also for animation closeup shots. I started by following Image references from multiple angles. CAD file for the Sole area was provided which was later modified to match realism. Texture for parts such as Midsole, Collar, Nose & Laces were custom made. Main leather was a combination of multiple textures merged and smoothly masked to match the original beauty. Software used in the process were Max, Topogun, Painter & Octane.

Modeling Process:

For the Video, this one was going to be around 45sec. I wanted to present the Product Features alongside the brand's identity. Features such as its tough built body combined with an advance Trail-Tread anti-slip technology, the O-fit insole for enhanced fit & comfort, B-dry waterproofing & breathability to the Colorways inspired by nature. Brand - being commitment towards a healthier environment, recycled resourcing of materials and its partnership with LWG-Certified Supplier.

Video Concept:

For simulations, I used tyflow almost throughout the video. Shoe was rigged with bones to capture the organic smooth motion. The stitching effect was first animated on the spline and then drawn over with an offset via tyflow. Rain simulation effect was also created with tyflow. Shoe laces bulge effect was created with shape morphing. Rendered with Octane and composited in AE.
