Shoe Generator
add-on
Procedural footwear on a real last: sneakers, dress shoes, boots, heels and sandals with laces, stitching, straps, soles and PBR materials, in true EU/US sizes and mirrored pairs.
Shoe Generator builds realistic footwear in one click: running shoes, court and basketball sneakers, canvas high-tops, oxfords, brogues and loafers, chelsea, hiking, work, combat, cowboy and rain boots, stilettos, pumps, wedges, ballet flats, clogs, slippers, flip-flops, slides and sandals. Every pair is built on a real shoe last with proper EU, US and UK sizes, and the right shoe is a true mirror of the left.
The details are modelled, not painted on: stitched overlays and mudguards, punched or grommet eyelets, laces that cross over and under on a real path with a tied bow and aglets, padded collars, tongues, heel counters, buckled straps, zippers, welts, stacked heels and molded tread.
