projection mapping a shoe

[André Irniger]

Hy there,

[dan sforza] “I need to texture a shoe quickly. Does anyone have a good technique for projection mapping textures on to a shoe?”

Actually, you already say what technique you want to use. In your case “projection mapping”. There is no difference in mapping a shoe or a car.
There are a lot of tutorials out there which explain camera mapping. Look for one of these.

Now, what is a good technique ?

Think this really depends on your model, your textures, the way you use the object in your scene (still, animation, close-up …). I do not often use projection, but for a shoe, I would go with the usual mapping techniques like UVW-Mapping. There too, you can find many tutorials on the net.

Cheers,
maxx
