Designing a 3D model of intricate linedancer boot

[Anonymous]

Hi guys i've been asked to etch a 3D linedancer/cowboy boot within a glass keyring but they have given me a specific boot design to copy. I'm not sure if its even possible in fusion or requires different software? whether there are people who could do it for me or, if it is possible to do, you think a fairly newbie to fusion like myself has any hope of designing this myself?

Etch? Or ingrave? Quite different things.

Ooooooooooh.

I strongly suggest you contact a company that specializes in this, such as 3dcrystal.com for example, and talk to them about what they require.

i've attached some more views of the design. As I said, i've no idea if this can be done on fusion? Any pointers or help would be appreciated.

I do all the laser etching myself. its just i'm used to playing around with extruding logos in fusion and working with 3D files already sent to me. This is a different kettle of fish for me.

Ah... okay.

So...will you just be laser ingraving a 2D image, a full 3D shape, or a 3D image that is correct only from one side, as I typically see in those little trinkets found at gift shops?

i'm looking at etching the boot with all detail visible being a complete 3D object,

Will finish thread by saying I contacted and commissioned a professional to design my boot. Thanks for all your help

Glad to hear it. Sorry I couldn't help. Just have zero experience with that type application, and therefor zero idea what sort of Fusion 360 work might be applicable.
