Conceptual Shoe Design Using Alias, Dynamo, and VRED

This one-hour demo shows the design of a track shoe from sketch to render. We will show the process of sketching in Sketchbook, bringing the work into Alias software, and finishing with photorealistic marketing-level renderings.

Once in Alias, we’ll compare NURBS modeling workflows to the Subdivision modeling in Alias 2020, and why it is better suited for concept modeling. The main portion of the demo revolves around how Dynamo, Sketchbook, and Alias work together to help designers ideate procedurally-designed tread for the soles. Once the sole is complete, the shoe is brought into VRED software to create photorealistic marketing-level renderings.
