Realistic Shoe Texture | Texture Study

Created during my training at Think Tank Training Centre, this project focused on texturing a realistic Converse-style shoe using a photo-projection workflow in Mari. I layered in weathering, dirt, and subtle paint splashes to add character and storytelling—reflecting how my own Converse tend to look over time! This approach allowed me to explore the blend between realism and personality, while sharpening my skills in material definition and texture detailing for realistic film assets.
