Design Details

Unique Properties
The idea is to bring the characteristics of the product through the use of visual elements, connecting the shoe direct to the customers life style. The mood also transmits lightness, present on the shoe essence. Everything made in 3D without scans
Inspiration
We where inspired by nature elements, connecting the image directly with the customers life style. The water element is fully connected to the product features, as well the cloud element that represents lightness.
Research
The work was executed based mainly on the previous experiences in other works for several companies of the sector footwear, in very natural way. Feedback was collected mainly online about the quality of the 3D itself as well as the sensations that people had in the first contact with the art.
Challenge
The hardest part was making the simulations, considering that there's a lot of elements that hard to be perfectly represented as the real world
Realization and Technology
The boot was modeled using photographs as a reference and hard surface 3D modeling techniques. For modeling we used the software 3ds Max. All the textures made using leather texture and some photoshop brushes. Redshift was used for rendering and Houdini for Simulations
Operation and Interaction
The animation visual was used on online such product website, instagram and facebook. The main focus was to attract attention to the product, bringing in the composition elements that generate the necessary sensations without the need for explanatory texts. Competitors often use images without a strong visual appeal, so the product, especially in the online market, goes unnoticed. The excess of texts works negatively in most of these cases, underestimating the viewer's intellect.
Project Duration and Location
It toke around 2 months to finish
