Zbrush shoe details

vil83r

I modeled a shoe in 3DS Max and was told that Zbrush would be great for adding all of the details i.e raised leather patches and stuff. What would be the best method to go about doing this? How do I get the design I do on one side over tot he other side of the shoe?

Any help would be great.

Here's an older goodie: http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?74782-Callahan-Sketchbook&p=684124&viewfull=1#post684124
Should be even faster with 4R4's new bag of tricks.

Nice! I have searched my butt off since Tuesday and never came across this. This is excellent.

Another good one. This time using extracting instead of layering (for boots, but the same applies to shoes).

Zspheres (or especially the topology brush) would be great there as you can draw your topology over the rough shape, and then add some thickness to the resulting skin.
