3D Footwear Modelling | Photorealistic Renderings | FST 3D Case Study

The requirement

Not all products start out as CAD models. Many companies find themselves having to present a new product when all they have are sketches, concepts or physical prototypes.

The requirement was to transform an idea into a photorealistic 3D model for use in communication, marketing and sales, without having to wait for the final sample to be produced.

The solution

Starting solely with sketches, reference images and concepts, we reconstructed the entire shoe using a high-precision 3D modelling process.

Each element was created manually to faithfully reproduce the shapes, proportions, materials and construction details, resulting in an extremely realistic and versatile digital model.

Once the 3D model was complete, we were able to produce photorealistic renderings and content for the company’s various communication channels.

Where it can be used

A single 3D model allows you to create content for a wide range of channels:

• catalogues;

• e-commerce;

• websites;

• social media;

• advertising campaigns;

• sales presentations;

• trade fairs and events;

• packaging;

• digital showrooms;

• 3D configurators;

• product videos.

The benefits

3D modelling allows you to:

• present the product even before production begins;

• turn a sketch into a sales tool;

• maintain consistent visual quality across all content;

• quickly generate new colour and material variants;

• eliminate the need for photo shoots for each version;

• reuse the same model for renderings, videos and configurators.

Behind the solution

Every project is developed through a workflow that combines technical expertise, experience in the footwear sector and attention to detail.

The process includes:

• analysis of sketches, concepts and reference images;

• high-precision 3D modelling;

• development of photorealistic materials;

• reconstruction of leathers, stitching and finishes;

• professional lighting;

• high-resolution photorealistic renderings;

• production of colour and material variants;

• preparation of content for catalogues, e-commerce and configurators.
