Lesson 8 | Shoe 3D Modeling | 3DTRIX

The lesson begins with an overview of the importance of small details in footwear design. You’ll understand how elements like eyelets, stitching, and laces contribute to both the visual appeal and functionality of the shoe.
You’ll start by creating the lacing system. Learn how to model the eyelets and lace holes, then how to add the laces themselves, ensuring they are positioned and bent realistically. Techniques for creating the lace texture and ensuring natural draping will be demonstrated.
The lesson then shifts to stitching, where you’ll learn how to model seams and thread details. You’ll see how to simulate the look of stitched seams using modeling techniques, ensuring they appear as realistic as possible.
You will also learn how to add additional details like loops, lace tips, and decorative stitching. Tips on how to balance functionality with design flair will be shared, helping to enhance the overall look of the shoe.
Finally, you’ll see how to position and scale these elements to fit with the overall design, ensuring they complement the shoe’s shape and style.
