Shoe

Zanzimizer

Hey guys!
I am new to the forums, I am a part of the game design program at the Art Institute
After looking through the forums, I could see my skills are definitely not matched up to most of you , but its great to see a very helpful community
ANyways here is a low poly shoe I made for an assignment!

Welcome to polycount forums.

I highly suggest modeling in quads and if you did, not triangulating the model for ease of unwrapping and also smoothing purposes.



The red lines are edges that can easily be deleted to create a quad (blue square). I redrew how I would set up my quads on the op of the shoe. You had a bit of a triangulation mess up there. Hope it helps.

A shoe isn't very interesting, so I think you should try to do something to spruce it up a bit. Add some laces, try to make the silhouette cleaner and more recognizable, give it a texture, etc.

You could also lose a few polygons without truly affecting the silhouette. It's a shoe, so it's going to be on a character's foot 99% of the time. When was the last time you concentrated on a character's feet in Counter-Strike or Half-Life? Never, so you can easily get away with less detail.

any specific shoe? otherwise critiques can and will be very vague since each shoe has different shape and proportions to it

I had a few references images, but here is the general shape

Definately could get away with less detail. Alot of that can be normal mapped.
