This week we’re turning our attention to fashion! Grab this pair of sneakers by kenprol and texture your heart out. Adding a bit of geometry here and there is allowed but be sure to concentrate on the paint job and textures!

We’ve teamed up with Allegorithmic who are providing a full year of Substance Indie and a bag of Substance swag (total value of $275) for TWO lucky winners!

Update: the winners are in!

Continue reading on the forum for the honourable mentions and special mention (wooo!)

You can download the original files from the model above in a variety of file formats (Blender, Max, FBX and OBJ).

TL;DR: Texture these shoes using your favourite texturing workflow, upload it to Sketchfab and tag it with #ShoesTexturingChallenge. Be sure to credit kenprol and link to his model.

Rules

If you need to update the UV mapping, that’s ok.

Changing scenery, adding props and extra geometry is allowed but remember:

you will be judged primarily on your texturing skills.

you will be judged primarily on your texturing skills. Submit only new work, but feel free to submit multiple scenes.

Once you’ve created your scene, upload it to Sketchfab, tag it #ShoesTexturingChallenge.
