In this class, you’ll learn how to create a realistic pair of Nike sneakers from start to finish using industry-standard tools. We’ll begin in ZBrush, where you’ll sculpt the shoe with accurate proportions and fine surface details such as laces, stitching, and leather folds. Then, we’ll move into Substance 3D Painter to build lifelike textures, apply materials, and introduce color variations. Finally, we’ll render the sneaker in Marmoset Toolbag, using lighting and shading to achieve a polished, portfolio-ready presentation.
