Nike – The Kobe 9
2024
Client: Services Generaux (Nike)
Software Used: Maya
For this project, I collaborated with an incredibly talented team to bring The Kobe 9 to life in 3D. Starting with a photogrammetry scan of the sneaker, my task was to transform the low-resolution scan into clean, topologically accurate geometry. This process involved enhancing the scanned data, refining the details, and ensuring the model maintained the iconic design features of the Kobe 9.
The result was a highly accurate 3D model that integrated seamlessly into the VFX pipeline, supporting both animation and rendering needs. This required meticulous attention to edge flow and quad topology to guarantee smooth deformation during animation while maintaining the sneaker's complex texture and structure.
This project not only demonstrated my ability to elevate photogrammetry scans into production-ready assets but also showcased my skill in collaborating with a team to maintain the visual integrity and brand identity of a product as iconic as the Nike Kobe 9.
