Creating Running Shoes in 3D - Open Footwear

In this presentation, Juraj and Josef, both professional footwear designers, point out Blender’s key features that enable their digital workflows.

OpenFootwear.com, their common project, serves as a showcase of the techniques ranging from development of shoe last and rapid prototyping to designing, visualizing and redesign (and then re-designing again).

To put it bluntly: ”Blender is full of great footwear features and 20 minutes is a short time… so be ready for a ride!
