Design Details

Unique Properties
The project was made to show all the features of the product in a fun way. Being a informative but without being annoying. The purpose was to show the construction of the shoe.
Inspiration
The inspiration came through the research about elements that could represent the product, like the nature with all the colors and mood.
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 shoe was modeled using photographs as a reference and hard surface 3D modeling techniques. For modeling we used the software C4D. All the textures made using leather texture and some photoshop brushes. Vray 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. 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.
