Woodsy Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) Thank you Dipstick and AndrewDavid! I'm sorry but I didn't use a map. I started with Shape 3D on a blank canvas and added the texture and the threads next. Then I enclosed the threads on a different layer so I could use Bevel Object. I drew all the holes separately.

dipstick Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 amazing that you got the curvature correct without using a map.............. Anyway, even though my images were dis-allowed, I have no problem uploading my own map. Everyone is free to use it at will........ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewDavid Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 The part I couldn't get was how to create the proper texture. I spent time on the laces and tried to get them to lineup correctly on a sphere in Shape3D. I came close once with the texture part - but I ruined it and couldn't recreate it. I just got lucky finding the right color. The textures you guys did was amazing. I don't think I followed the correct path to create the object after reading your comments. Thanks for the feedback.

Woodsy Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 With the texture I used the "Random Shape Fill" plugin over and over and over then faded it to my liking. For the laces I used the "Line" tool and looked at a picture of a baseball for a comparison. But the important part is putting a radial gradient in transparency mode on the texture to make it look realistic. 1 My PDN Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewDavid Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) Thanks Woodsy and Dipstick. How else am I to learn? And don't say tutorials . Experience hanging with you pro's is a much better idea. Edited March 7, 2017 by AndrewDavid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
