Join the movement! Customize and showcase your sneaker

We all have our favorite pair of kicks. Comfy, slick, or extreme. Today, thanks to you, this pop culture icon gets a revamp. Is this high-top an athleisure design? Or is it geared towards performance? It could also be luxury fashion, or even pure art. That’s your call, as long as the shoe remains wearable.

There are two ways to stand out… and win!

Create an awesome shoe

To customize your shoe, apply and paint materials in Substance 3D Painter.
You can definitely lift content from the 3D asset library, or even use custom stuff! Just have fun.

Set up an incredible stage for your shoe

To showcase your shoe, leverage the power of Substance 3D Stager.
You can also import content from Adobe Illustrator, as well as models and lights from the 3D asset library. Show us how unique your idea is! A big part of this contest is designing your Behance project page. Show us the sole of your work! The only mandatory element is one showcase render of your sneaker.

And what’s even better? You don’t have to be a subscriber!
Enjoy the 30-day trial for all Substance 3D apps.

Customize and stage the Substance 3D sneaker

This contest is all about the sneaker. Using the provided model, you will customize the shoe in Substance 3D Painter and make it yours. Then, you will showcase your sneaker with Substance 3D Stager.

Submissions must include all of the following:

• 3 Substance 3D Stager renders of the sneaker – using the 3 preset views (face, side, angled). Show us the shoe! This will help us see how you’ve customized the model and made it yours. The renders must be alpha PNG files in Full HD (1920×1080)
  
• 1 Substance 3D Stager showcase render, which shows the shoe however you like! Blow our minds with your storytelling, creativity, uniqueness. This artwork should be under 4k.
  
• 1 Behance project: design a page for your shoe on Behance. You must include your showcase render at least (post-processing is allowed); other than that do whatever you like! Don’t forget that you can integrate different formats in your Behance page, including a Sketchfab model! It’s a great way to share a full 3D view of your shoe.

Once everything is ready, there’s just one little thing left: submit all your beautiful mandatory renders and the link to your Behance project on our submissions page.
