Pretty much. I also would like to take some time to figure out if there is any chance to simplify the model further. 4500 triangles is still an awful lot.

I blame all those curved texture seams!

I was pretty much nodding off the entire evening yesterday so I pressed on until the main body was completely filled in.

I’m not sure if it looks any different from this angle…

I ment to do more today but I won’t have time to do much, so here is yesterday’s update that I forgot to post.

Again the center area is getting progressively better, and I did some work on the tongue and velcro straps, it’s getting there but it’s too slow!

I’ve also added a nice and comfy lining. Now it’s even thicker.

Soon enough this is going to turn into a ski boot 🙂 I hope not!

…and I don’t like it. It looks clumsy, the flow is bad, it’s too dense. But I guess it will do for now.

A brief gallery of the progress over the last two days. On the last picture I also adjusted the velcro straps to have longer ends.

I did some rebuilding in order to insert the side panels and the reenforcement strips around the grommets, I also added those and a lacing mockup.

The velcro straps are also 50% wider (I still have to redo those proper, these are also just mockups) and I added a small trim under the ankle padding.

That was a long break, I know, but I needed some rest.

And now for something completely different 🙂

This is a first draft of the design, I like what I’m seeing but I suspect that It isn’t going to stay as is.

Warning: Cats might have taken over.

A little thing I”ve been making for the region. Not quite finished yet.
