Yeah, I'd like to know, too, VD...

​

 

[archeever]

I basically created a mesh diamond, then defined it as a pattern( Edit > Define Pattern). Then I selected the area that i wanted mesh. Then i went to Edit > Fill > select the pattern you created. When you draw the mesh diamond it should like this a little bit.

Remember to have the background clear. Obviously I drew this mesh not too well. But I hope you get the idea. You should also save it as a psd file too, just incase. Also change the size to your liking.

Thanks for the explanation.

Holy Crap! You just proved that I know nothing about how to use photoshop!!! That is incredible! Thanks for helping.


So, you have to have that area empty to start with, then you overlay colors/ diffuser etc??? Man, I wish I had your knowledge and skills in that area Arch. I didn't realize you had worked professionally in art before.

 

[archeever]

Well what I did was select an area then fill it with color.
Then I made a new layer for the mesh
Then I selected the same area and filled it with the mesh pattern. You could overlay the mesh on the same layer where the color is, but I didn't want to dodge or burn the mesh. I just wanted to dodge and burn the bootie part. Thats why I kept them separated.
Here is a little screenshot of how I layered them.

Thanks!! ^^^

Great work from everyone. Nice renders, much props.

Question...
Has anyone thought that perhaps the laces will be tied at the rear of the shoe? When I picture the lace system that was described, I picture the laces running thru the ankle and out the rear, with the clasp in the rear built into the heel and a system of tucking the extra lace. Maybe from practical standpoint it doesn't make sense. Just another idea.

[airjordani]

sorry u guys have good ideas but i hope they dont look like any of what u guys put... they actually look like bball shoes, thats why jordans were always different, they looked hot AND were good for bball...

 

[ganjamun]

JayWhes your rendering is nice, but they actually would be really good second generation East2West's...definitely not Air Jordans...

...BTW, JayWhes, ur first rendering, i felt, was much more Jordanesqe...i honestly love those...

 

[nolandw]

I think Jay should add a Jumpman on there.

​

​

 

[carthadontosaurus]

I just realized... don't Jay's shoes look almost exactly like the VC2s?

Odd...

​

 

[znth81]

... yeh... that came to my mind not to long ago... it's hard when so much has already been done. it makes you have to wokr that much harder.... eh...

 

[jaywhyes]

I didn't notice the vc2 thing until i posted them. I was just trying to follow the description by making the heel the same as the XI and making the shape of the patent area similar. ah well...

Nice work Eskei. I think everyone has great ideas but when will Nike release those shoes Michael J. Fox copped in Back to the Future II?

Man, talk about a speed lacing system. Right when he dropped his heel in the shoe the laces strapped down and the "Nike" on the tongue started to glow. Picture a Jumpman on the tongue glowing red or silver on some black or white J's. That could be a breakthrough shoe.

What is up with the drawstring thing at the toungue....I dont think it goes with it at all, looks like grandma's handbags or somethin...

 

[nolandw]

^It was given as a "tip" of the XIXs.

I thought that drawstring looked pimp
