What will I learn?
You will learn how to build accurate digital shoe lasts, model upper panels and sole units, and apply physically based materials for photorealistic renders. The course covers footwear anatomy, construction methods, and industry sizing standards so your models reflect real-world specifications. You will develop UV unwrapping, texture application, and lighting skills to produce professional product visuals. Advanced techniques include subdivision surface modelling, parametric tread patterns, and sculpting organic details. You will also create technical spec sheets, 2D flat patterns, and DXF files ready for factory handoff, and build a portfolio that positions you for roles in footwear design and development.
