Title: Air Sphere
Name: Goro Fujita
Country: Germany
Software: mental ray, XSI

Hi there,
this is a 3D model I've done for cgsphere.com. I had the Idea to create a spherical shoe.
To figure out which objects I needed to model, I startet sketching the different parts seperately.

Since I don't model that often, it was pretty challenging for me to create all those complicated shapes. I used XSI for modeling, textures in Photoshop, rendered in Mental Ray.
It took about 2 weeks of my free time to finish.

Here are some more renderings.

The stitching is amazing. Was that a headache to do??

Thank you for your comments everyone! Glad you like it!

Tzrnutt:
The stitches are simple bumpmaps. I tried to extract stitches out of photographs but
in the end the hand painted textures worked way better. That took some time
and I had to be very pacient but it was totally worth it.
I'm always amazed how much you can pull out of bump maps...

Cool idea! I also like the close up renders and the exploded view. Cool concept, modeling, texturing and render.
