Another modeling question...

Anybody have any advice or at least know where i can get advice on how to best model my two biggest modeling fails... Shoeslaces and shirt or coat collars and lapels?

They all seem so deceptively easy to make, especially the shirt collars and coat lapels, but with out fail, theare some of the hardest parts of the clothing for me to get right.

And shoelaces.... There's another challenge. I've tried modeling them by hand, but that's not only confusing and tedious, the finished product often looks like alien technology... just plain weird.

Anybody got any suggestions or links to pages that could help me?

I find collars and coat lapels easiest to do by starting with one row of edges copied from the collar, then paste. I have the basic shape for the connection with the right number of polys, then model as a separate piece, bridging them together once I have the collar shape I want. Doing it this way also avoids reversed normals.

Shoe laces..........It's Hexagon, but his approach to laces could be used in any modeler.
