Let's Make A Boot Together!

[Keegan]

From the second back-heel layer, copy the Puma logo by selecting the Marquee Tool and changing it to the Elliptical Marquee Tool. Select the logo and then cut/paste. It should be resized to fit into the un-mirrored area #2. With all the layers selected, your boot now looks like this:

it looks lenthy procedure,though i will make the boot after you complete the tutorial.

Question2

i have a problem about the sole part.

1. how to change the stud shape from rectangle to circle?
2. Is is possible to change the position of the stud?



I done 1 boot, maybe you can give a comment about it

Good boot ... make more

 

[Keegan]

@mojacoz - that's a pretty good boot - there are some things to fix, though - the sole cannot just be cut-and-pasted onto the template - it has to be cut into two and resized individually. I've also shown you where the studs go, so those black studs on the sole have to go. I can't tell you about making rectangular studs round, as I haven't ever tried to make firm ground boots (in-game). Pretty good effort though, man.

wow! really good start mate! teh color looks a bit dull,but you got the point mate, please continue make boots

 

[Keegan]

Ok - here we go again. Now we are working with the top view of the boot. Firstly we want to cut the tongue area like this:

Move this to your template. Use the Pen Tool to select the logo and cut it out, creating a new layer with it. Then sample the colour of the inside area, and fill the area where the logo was. cut the newly blank tongue into two and resize it to look something like this:

 

[Keegan]

Your tongue logo should now be placed on the un-mirrored area, so that on either foot ingame, the logo looks correct. It should look like this:

Then we go back to the top view for the laces... it should be cut out like this:

 

[Keegan]

Move laces area to the template. It sould then be re-sized like this to match the model. The left area should be approximately twice the size of the right area.

Let's look at the angled view of the boot now. It should be cut like this:

 

[Keegan]

Place it on the template and reshape it to look something like this:

Now we need the clone tool to fill some areas. You then duplicate that area and move the duplicated area to the opposite side like this:

 

[Keegan]

Let's put all the pieces together and see what we have so far:

Now all that's left to do, is the finishing touches. The last bit we did, needs to have the colour adjusted a bit to match the background. Use the brightness/contrast controls to do that. Next you can do a bit more cloning to get lines to touch where they don't - like the front bit to touch the laces, for example - all the while bearing in mind that the laces layer should be above the front bit. When that's done, you can merge the layers of the top and side areas of the boot. First merge the tongue layers and the heel logo layers together. Then merge that layer down to the laces layer. Then that layer down to the heel and side heel layers. Then down to the front bit and finally the side swooshes.the body of the boot is now one nice big layer.

 

[Keegan]

Now, to layer #2 - the one that shows you the outlines and stud placements - with your magic wand, wave it about and say "Alakazam!" (Very important step.)
then select an area between the boot body outline and the sole body outline and then switch to the new boot body layer and delete all that excess bit that won't show ingame anyway. Now it looks like this.

 

[Keegan]

You will recall the white layer that was recoloured to match the colour of the sole. Why was this? Here's why you change the opacity to 20% so you can the see Layer 1 and 2 through it.then you cut out an area like this:

Then place it above the boot body layer like this:

 

[Keegan]

Ok, almost there. Let's go to the boot images one last time and go to the close up. Let's get that "King" logo and place it where it ought to be. (No more spoon-feeding) Restore the formerly white layer to full visibility.You can now merge that layer with the king logo layer and the boot body layer. Create a new black layer. cut out the shape of the sole area. That should be all that is left of the black layer. Place that layer beneath the sole layer that we created initially and haven't done anything else with. Our boot should now be looking like this:

 

[Keegan]

Last lap... merge the sole layer down to the black layer. Then set your eraser at approx. 50% and merge the edges of the sole so it joins seamlessly into the background like this:

You can merge that layer down to the boot body layer now, then create a new blank layer. With the magic wand, select the areas that house the studs colours and fill them with black and place them above the boot body template and merge them down so your boot now looks like this.

 

[Keegan]

The only empty area of your boot is the place I usually put my Jamaican flag. this doesn't show up in-game, kids - so don't make your boots and put my flag there. Get your own! You could put whatever you like, or nothing at all there... then resize it to 128x128 and Hey! Presto! You've just completed your first boot. (Using my tutorial, anyway).

Just flatten the image and save as whatever the boot name is. I hope that as a result of my finally doing a template and tutorial, I will see many boot threads springing up - I do not want this tutorial reproduced anywhere in any shape or form, otherwise, knock yourselves out, kids.

another question

ok, basically i understand the process. but how about the one like adidas F50 or nike total 90 (the one like rooney wear)? the left and right side is different right?

Thanks Mate! Great Stuff.

Ok, now to explain the template:

The template is for the most part mirrored, which means that it is used for both the left and right foot. This is why boots like the Joma #10 and Nike Metatarsal () which have the left boot design different from the right do not work out with this boot model....

ok, basically i understand the process. but how about the one like adidas F50 or nike total 90 (the one like rooney wear)? the left and right side is different right?

I guess this answers your question.
