I’m following the [Luxology shoe tutorial]. And after two days of modeling, I have the shoe insert structure done. Things go a lot faster now. Knowing when to sew, bridge, polygon, and edge slice makes things easier.
On the second part, the bridge tool is used to make the shoe lace eyelets. But the example process didn’t work for me. I found another way to bridge the inner ring by selecting these two loops and then hitting bridge.
Other fallback is to select and bridge two edge loops in edge mode.
Here is a test render of my shoe halfway thru part 2.
