Rhino 7 was released in 2021 and since this includes a lot of exciting new functions, such as SubD modeling, we decided to update our 3D Footwear Modeling in Rhino course to include those new features.
During the course you will learn how to model a last, upper and sole. This course is a great preparation for Grasshopper for Footwear, so if you click on the Enroll button you will find an attractive bundle for both courses.
YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Lorenzo Masini
Industrial product designer
The course is developed and taught by Lorenzo Masini who has also been teaching the offline courses in Rhino and Grasshopper for Footwearology for the past 5 years. Lorenzo is an independent Italian product currently based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, working in numerous roles such as product, exhibition and interior design, product engineering and idea creation.
Because of this broad experience in all kinds of computational design and 3D design, he was asked by SLEM - the institute from which Footwearology was born - to teach 3D design specifically for footwear, which he has been doing for them ever since. With utmost patience he helps students navigate through any software easily, focusing on what they really need, and helping them to understand how to solve digital design challenges in multiple ways.
When Lorenzo is not designing, he is rapping as part of Cronofillers, a group of talented Italian rappers that comment on the state of our society. Lorenzo recently finished a post graduate course in Advanced Robotics in Barcelona, since he is aiming to bring back high-tech manufacturing of design to Europe.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
-
4 modules
-
30 video classes
-
interactive video transcription
-
1 digital 3D last
-
access for 3 months
Course Format
The course consists of 4 modules that each include a series of short video classes:
1: making a last
2: making the upper
3: making the midsole
4: visualization and rendering
You can follow the video classes at your own pace. Rhino is not the easiest program to learn, but doing it online forces you to persist, since you cannot ask the teacher right away and have to try and figure it out yourself first. This is certainly the most effective and long lasting way to learn. You can see a free example of a video class on the bottom of the page!

Course Audience
This course is meant for footwear designers that want to make 3D models that are very exact and could be used by a mold maker or that want to 3D print prototypes in-house. It covers how to find and fix any holes in your geometry, so you end up with a 3D printable file.
This course is also a must for people that want to expand their skills towards generative parametric design, since Rhino is directly integrated with Grasshopper, the leading application in that field. After this course you can continue with our new online course in Grasshopper.

Requirements
You do not need any prior knowledge of 3D software, but we do assume that you already design footwear. This is NOT a course where you learn how to design shoes from scratch, we just focus on how to visualize them in a professional 3D model.
The course does NOT include the Rhino software. You can download a fully functional trial version of Rhino 7 that is valid for 90 days, which is more than enough to finish the course.
You can run Rhino 7 both on a PC or a Mac. You can check the system requirements here. You will need a mouse though! Not a trackpad or a stylus!
