This project is more than a technical exercise for a mentorship; it is a heartfelt tribute to my greatest idol, Kobe Bryant. His "Mamba Mentality" has profoundly shaped my journey, instilling the belief that obsession with details is the key for any industry to succeed.

SubD Modeling in Maya: Developed a production-ready asset with high-fidelity topology to handle the complex curvatures and sharp transitions between the Flywire panels and the sole.

Look Development in Arnold and Substance Painter: Focused on creating accurate PBR shaders to replicate the specific synthetic materials, rubber textures, and the iconic "sheath" logo finishes.

Lighting&Rendering: 3 light setup to get the most out of the sleek silhouette and the aggressive, high-performance engineering of the original design.
