Trolldeg Posted February 23, 2002 Posted February 23, 2002 Like I wrote in the "3d modeling" thread, I was planning to model some shoes in 3d. This is my first attempt. I had a 6" oxford from Pierre Silber as a reference picture: _________________ fashion is for cowards. <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Trolldeg on 2002-02-23 08:44 ]</font>
Francis Posted February 23, 2002 Posted February 23, 2002 the heel looks higher than 6", but maybe that's due to a smaller footsize. good effort! I like it!
Trolldeg Posted February 23, 2002 Author Posted February 23, 2002 of course, this is only a work in progress image, I will add the correct textures and other details later.
chip7X Posted February 23, 2002 Posted February 23, 2002 Looks great so far. You can start to design your own fantasy footwear.
Trolldeg Posted February 24, 2002 Author Posted February 24, 2002 I've been working at the model and this is what I came up with. I'm rather pleased with it. I managed to get the leather texture pretty good:
Francis Posted February 24, 2002 Posted February 24, 2002 very good! the leather does look quite convincing! interesting to note that these shoes are seamless would be the holy grail of boots
Jeff Posted February 24, 2002 Posted February 24, 2002 Seamless and zipless! That's the advantage of living in a VR world.. Greetz, Jeff --- "She's going shopping, shopping for shoe-oe-oe-oes She wants them in magenta and Caribbean blue-ue-ue-ue" - Imelda, Mark Knopfler
terayon Posted February 24, 2002 Posted February 24, 2002 thats really good man what program did you use to make them in? ive been messing around with 3d studio max for a while...not that good though =)
Laurieheels Posted February 24, 2002 Posted February 24, 2002 I'll throw in my applause. Quite nice, the leather and lighting effects are great. I hope you can one day work up to animated sequence of someone wearing those boots. And they are a very nice style, Trolldeg. Feel proud.
Trolldeg Posted February 24, 2002 Author Posted February 24, 2002 Terayon> I've made them using 3dsMAX 4.2, my first attempt at patch modeling. Laurie> yes, I have plans on making an animated walk cycle with them, and other shoes I'm going to model. Although I fear it'll have to wait until I upgrade my system.
Firefox Posted February 25, 2002 Posted February 25, 2002 Yes I really like this artwork. The use of shadows and textures starts to trick the eye into a 3-D world. Last year, Xaphod and I visited the Tate Modern Gallery in London and this work surpasses many of the exhibits we saw there. We're hopefully going to arrange another trip this year, and we shall tell them of your work Trolldeg _________________ Believe in your right to wear what you want <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Firefox on 2002-02-25 01:37 ]</font>
chip7X Posted February 25, 2002 Posted February 25, 2002 I see your skills are really coming along. Love the design. Can you design some in snake skin? other textures?
terayon Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 you should make some nice knee high chunky heel boots too =)
Trolldeg Posted February 28, 2002 Author Posted February 28, 2002 all in due time... I'll have to refine my technique first...
IHeels Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 Wow, am impressed, it's getting there. Inga HEELS are POWER the HIGHER the BETTER.
high_heeled_Big_J Posted May 25, 2002 Posted May 25, 2002 I am wanting to "build" or at least draw a girl in high heels, but er....i am usless and drawing on a computer and er....i dun have a scanner that will work on windows xp
terayon Posted May 25, 2002 Posted May 25, 2002 most scanners have little OS dependance, try getting new drivers for it...most companies have XP drivers
azraelle Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 XP sucks, downgrade to 2000, no problems. They're GIVING away a fully functional "learning edition" of Maya 4 if you download it (~203MB), don't remember the website. Unfortunately requires minimum of 528MB of RAM and they won't guarantee it will work unless you have a professional video card with at least 128MB video RAM! By the way, Trolldeg, your art work is awesome for a first try! _________________ Hi-Heels and Back-Zipper Pants Forever... <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: azraelle on 2002-05-26 03:33 ]</font> "All that you can decide, is what to do with the time that is given you."--Gandalf, "Life is not tried, it is merely survived -If you're standing outside the fire."--Garth Brooks
Calv Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 Very nice picture Trolldeg. I'm very impressed. The texture is especially good. Do your own thing. Don't be a victim of conformity. Calv
Joak Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 Really well made shoe model! I do also like the laether textures - I'm really curios about your next esperiences.... best wishes Joak
high_heeled_Big_J Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 XP doesn't suck it is very good i have been running tests on it and i ran the exact same tests on my windows 2000 pro. and xp came out tops and i got my old scanner to work...er....in a lighter sence of the word... i have tested it and it seems ok i will need to get my drawing skills back up to scratch though lol
azraelle Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 XP sucks, to me, if only because I don't like using SPYWARE if I have a choice, and in this case, I do!

ShockQueen Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 I just changed over from Win98SE to Win2K Pro (a HUGE jump for me), and so far everything is working just fine - no problems. I might give it a bit before going to XP, but I wanna find a copy without SPYWARE first - and they ARE out there. SQ.....still busting societal molds with a smile...and a 50-ton sledge!
Joak Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 Hello, I also use win2k for quite a while now - and I still not see any reason to go for the XP! i don't like spyware, I also don't like such a candy style frontend of the system and all hard-/ software is running fine under 2k... never ever felt less reason to update my windows. best wishes Joak
Francis Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 If you are worried about SPYWARE then download Ad-AWARE to help you detect and remove spyware from your system you can obtain the software and other anit-spyware stuff from http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ Hope it helps!
Trolldeg Posted May 26, 2002 Author Posted May 26, 2002 aren't we getting a BIT off topic here? hrm.. :/
terayon Posted May 27, 2002 Posted May 27, 2002 if your running 2000, there is no point for you to upgrade to XP...although you can change the GUI style, what it starts with is very ugly, its sort of the Fischer Price of the operating system world
Francis Posted May 27, 2002 Posted May 27, 2002 yeah, topic, well and truly destroyed! how about making a new topic to continue this conversation on operating systems, hmm?
azraelle Posted May 27, 2002 Posted May 27, 2002 I didn't mean to destroy your topic Trolldeg. The website for Maya is http://www.aliaswavefront.com.

Trolldeg Posted May 27, 2002 Author Posted May 27, 2002 I've spent the last few years learning 3dsMAX, I'm not going to throw it all away just to learn Maya... it's not the program, it's the user that counts...
