Think I'm getting there now...

I think I'm finally getting to grips with Creo. I had a one to one session with my tutor, John, on Friday and feel a lot better about it now. Over the weekend I've completed the design for the top half of my casing and have been working on the bottom half. Although I'm having a bit of trouble deciding the best way to go about creating the red sole. I've done a couple of designs but they need tweaking a bit; hopefully John will be able to help me out at Uni on Monday afternoon. I'm not sure if it will be possible to create a 2mm thick piece of material using the CNC, which is what I reckon I need to inlay into the black part of the sole. I don't want to have to do a bodged paint job on it. I might end up having a totally red bottom half of the casing, but I really don't want to have to do that. I could always cut the inlay out of red acrylic but I don't really want a glossy finish on that part of the sole. I've been thinking about using cream leather as the inner lining part of the top half of the shoe, but need to research where I can get it from and whether or not it will laser cut accurately. I'm sure I'll come up with something. But for now I think I'm going to hit the sack.
