Lesson 15 | Shoe 3D Modeling | 3DTRIX

The lesson begins with an introduction to the midsole’s role in footwear. You’ll learn how the midsole affects the shoe’s comfort, shock absorption, and overall fit. The midsole’s design is crucial for sports, running shoes, and other performance footwear.
You’ll start by modeling the base shape of the midsole. Techniques for adding curves and adjusting thickness to ensure a comfortable fit and smooth transition from the outsole to the upper will be covered.
The lesson will demonstrate how to add cushioning elements to the midsole. You’ll learn how to model air pockets, gel inserts, or foam layers, depending on the type of cushioning system used in the shoe.
You’ll also explore how to add detailing, such as grooves, patterns, or branding elements, to the midsole. This step will help you enhance the design while maintaining the functional aspect of the cushioning.
The lesson concludes with a discussion on how to combine the midsole with the outsole and upper. Tips on ensuring the proportions are correct and how the midsole fits seamlessly with the other parts of the shoe will be covered.
