Curve Strap Snap Struggle is Real

MasterBeard

Hello guys. I am trying to do this kind of straps on a scabbard.
I tried in zbrush with Curve Strap Snap and one wrong move will screw every thing.
Then I tried Polypaint Straps in 3Ds Max. No good.

Please can someone tell me the good and fast way to do this straps?

Thank you in advance

Slice the polygons on your scabbard, extrude them, cleanup the geo. I've done this a lot because it gives you a very usable result for low poly. Or at least "low" poly.

Model the leather wraps (probably from curves) floating around your scabard, use whatever your 3d application's version of shrinkwrap is to make the wraps conform to the base shape.

Just make some cylinders and put them ontop of the scabbard, it won't actually wrap around since they'll just be disconnected rings but nobody will know if you make it look convincing enough.
