Now I have to google what D rings stands for…
Like Yo said, using CD for just aesthetics might be too much but I do find it quite interesting. In this case brought a brain-ish morphology but tweak parameters and it could bring some cool variants.
Here’s the portfolio page for this previous project!
Done in Blender.
Super nice Francisco. I’ve been watching you build your CAD skills on Facebook and Instagram. It is rare to see footwear totally build in CAD with such a sensitivity to shoe making and proportions. These are so awesome to see. Thanks for sharing them here.
I feel grateful towards your words,Michael.I have learned a lot from you over the years and from Core77.
I don’t do much 3d rendering but this was one of my few tries, 10 yrs ago, crazy how time flies.
Modeled in solidworks, rendered in Vray. These were done mostly to try to nail down settings to get fast renders and to practice making my own textures from scratch. Quite a learning experience



Not bad, although those suffer from low samples which is why we do not see any texture detail.
I am currently working on a project involving fabric simulation and renderings. We are making use of the Keyshot Velvet shader which is quite impressive when tuned right.
Here is a preview.

those are crazy good!
Nice!!!
Wow that looks awesome!
Thank you guys…modeled and rendered in Blender and textured in Substance Painter.
Wow nice work! Super detailed
Looks like I got to test some of those new render packages. Getting textiles right in CADused to be a major hassle.
I actially like an early stage of that sketch better than the more detailed result. It has a Syd Meadness about it, if that is a word…
Michael, can you tell us, how you laid the foundations in the beginning. Truely looks like pencil before you go digital.
Is that analog or a magic digital pen?
Thanks for your kindness to share.
mo-i
LOL, I can see that. It is just the “6b pencil” in Procreate app. They do a really nice job with their stock tools.
Uuups. As you are a mod please move this to the right thread.
That really looks great. What did you use to model the fabric? The way it falls and folds looks very natural.
