Fizik Uomo R1B Road Shoe

Some product renders of the Fizik Uomo R1B Road Shoe, I was on a Pinterest voyage and saw a red pair of these and thought they looked smart.

Modelling was started in Cinema 4D to try and learn the program but after a while I hit some limitations of the program (and my knowledge of it) and so jumped back to 3Ds Max to finish the modelling.

Unwrapping, Materials and Rendering was done in 3Ds Max and V-Ray with some texture work done in Photoshop.

I'd like to do some fancy smoke or particle shots but I've spent so long already with the materials that I'll post some shots later. I'll try to get some nice results with TyFlow or Phoenix FD.

Tips welcome, I'd love to know how to make things better, to make it look as realistic as possible.
