It’s been a while between posts for me. Mainly because I have been heavily involved in creating the Remaster the Classic project for the last month or so.
The site was made for K-Swiss and MTV to promote the K-Swiss Classic Remastered trainer. Users have the opportunity to customise their Classic by expressing their creativity using paint, graphics and uploading images not to mention adding chains, diamonds and/or studs to their shoe.
Designs are applied to the shoe (a Collada model rendered with Papervision, created in Maya) in real time. Users can continue to edit the shoe until they are happy with it and then submit the shoe to the competition and gallery when both the texture and a thumbnail of the designed shoe are saved.
There were many challenges and many (very) late nights but well worth it as the end result has proven to be extremely popular. Below is a high level overview of the site in relation to the functionality of the Shoe.
