Shoe Laces in Zbrush

Hello This is a blog post about how to create show laces. I started by finding some lace brushes already made.

I have used this particular lace set before and found that making your own was a easier way to go about it. I started with zspheres and ran then thru the shoe lace holes that I made in the military style boot I was working on.
 
The easier way would be to use a premed set that I found online but I wanted to make my own set because if you notice I have a change in the laces because in a military boot it has the holes and the rings to tighten the laces.  This process shows you how you start off with zspheres then use adaptive skin and then use the ramp feature to thin out the laces.
