Live demo — 3D modelling in Icad Universe

3DFootwear Academy’s 3D footwear modeling course takes you behind the scenes of the process luxury brands use every day: building a shoe in 3D starting from the last, tracing every piece, creating heels, soles, laces and accessories, applying materials and reaching a presentation-ready render. All with Icad Universe, the reference software of the footwear industry.

It’s a 100% hands-on path: 200+ HD lessons organized into 14 modules, designed for people who truly start from scratch.
