In Class Maya Quiz - Richard Townsend

 This sketch represents the base idea I had. It was based on the ballet shoe that I uploaded for assignment 2A. It would act as an ankle brace and be able to track movements and the muscles and ligaments in the foot and ankle. The foot would go inside the loops and the strands coming off the bottom would go on top of the foot.

To create this form I started with a loop shape. I used the soft selection tool on the vertices to make the initial loop the size and shape I wanted. From there I used the mirror command to create the main shape of the wearable. I then used multi-cut and smooth to make more faces that could be edited. Then I selected some of them and used extrude and rotate to make the strands coming off of the end. In order to connect the strands back to the main shape I used append to polygon on specific faces. In order to connect the loops in the back for more support  I used the bridge command.
