Low poly shoe - Hank - 02-05-2017
Hi guys,
Some fast work to test AO option (thanks to Olve11) - I followed his advice and you can check the result.
Modeled: W3D 2.1.5 + Mlab (shoelace)
Texture: Gimp 2.8.16 ( 2048x2048 )
Tri: 3038
(with AO)
(without AO)
(wire)
(UV Map)
(shoelace from Mlab)
It's hard to admit but I never used AO before
I've seen this map many times but never wonder how or why to use it - even for my previous work the diffuse was shaded manually and it's nothing simple to achieve. Anyhow, in 2.1.5 I found also Normal Map option and I wonder what's the difference between external soft (xNormal / Gimp), can anyone share with some experience?BR, Hank

Well done! Could you explain how did you do the shoelace? I can see that it`s Mlab but still don't know how exactly do that.

Hi Marcin,
here are my steps:
1. create object which you want to use for path
Usually I cut some cube and scale it along one axis, later move requested vertices, so it meets path directions (easier to manage with several geometry windows)
2. select one edge + L
3 RMB + Lots more + Tubes from loop paths
4. modify the values according to your needs (ngons, size, max number of steps etc.)
Let me know if any help needed.
BR, Hank

Great work!

Thanks Micheus,
But to be honest, since I already use Gimp for most of my works, I will follow oort's advice and try GIMP Normal Plug in (insane bump) - it's combined version of spec/normal/displacement/occlusion.
Anyhow, Normal Map in W3D is great option too.

Sorry but I really don't see the difference between the object you start with in step 1 and the final object in the last step. What am I missing?

Take a look at first object - it's a deformed cube and the final is created with hexagon. And you can create even more complicated if you want...
See below recoding and try to create it with W3D under 3 min.
