Nike – DN8
2024
Client: Future Deluxe (Nike)
Software Used: Maya, Zbrush
For this project, I worked alongside the talented team at Future Deluxe to create a detailed 3D model of the Nike DN 8. My responsibilities included modeling the shoe as well as developing tileable textures to ensure a seamless and realistic surface appearance.
One of the key challenges was designing a low-resolution mesh for the sole that maintained the integrity of the original design while being optimized for animation and rendering. To achieve this, I carefully structured the base mesh to preserve shape accuracy, allowing for a displacement map to add high-resolution detail without unnecessary geometric complexity.
This project highlighted my ability to balance technical efficiency with visual fidelity, ensuring the model was both lightweight for production workflows and rich in detail for high-end rendering and close-up shots.
