In todays session I was finally able to wrap up the mid poly shoes. This is more than enough detail to move and I will likely bake this asset as is using low for the high just to get some quick AO going. In the session I also test fit them onto the avatar but of course its trash because auto skin weights are always trash. Will have to do some hand skin weighting elements later on to fix up the shoes. Textures will come as soon as the gloves are done which is next up!

Again shout out to Frictory 213 and MJ lock on sketchfab for a solid ref to work based off of and a temporary pair of Shadow air shoes which will soon be replaced by my scratch made model. Want my Sonic characters to have a more near future/cyberpunk look vs how they are in the movie franchise. Never sure where the design will head but I will keep chipping away until its complete.

Ref models previously used to get started can be found here for those interested.

I will not be using either of these nor parts of them in the final construction of my fully rigged Shadow avatar, just using for scale refs and placeholder art for now.

If you are a CC4 user you may wanna follow this whole process just to keep up with some success stories, missteps and backtracks. There will be plenty of mistakes made I assure you, but the point is taking advantage of these pre-rigged humanoids, putting your own new bones and appendages on them and still retaining CC4s built in facial rigging if you are like me, a character modeler/texturer with no animation chops whatsoever. Come along for the journey, this mess is finna be wild!
