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:

Duration: 45sec Showcasing the product's key features alongside the brand's identity. Highlights include its tough, durable build combined with advanced Trail-Tread anti-slip technology, the O-fit insole for enhanced fit and comfort, B-dry waterproofing for breathability, and nature-inspired colorways. The brand demonstrates its commitment to a healthier environment through recycled materials and partnerships with LWG-certified suppliers.

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.
