3D CONCEPT SHOES
Personal exploration of different forms, shapes, details, and materials. An ongoing exercise of creativity with no boundaries.
PROGRAMS USED: Blender, KeyShot, FUSION360, SOLIDWORKS, ZBrush, Photoshop, Illustrator

ALPHAFLY NEXT%

Timeline: 1.5 Weeks
An exercise of creating a photorealistic representation of the Alphafly with the see-through Atomknit weave constructed upper, ribbed laces, patterned midsole/outsole, carbon Flyplate, insole, and Zoom Air units. The goal was to create a shoe model that looked as real as possible.

XENO

A project on utilizing normal maps via baking in order to reduce the overall polycount for a smoother and more efficient workflow. A first time exploration of using Blender's built-in animation tools as well.
