Jewelry Design | Different Ways to Model a Simple Ring in Blender [Tutorial]

In this tutorial, I show three different ways to start a simple ring model in Blender and talk about why you might want to use each one for your design, tips for modeling with these techniques, and how to prepare them to be exported for 3D printing.

I love it, you're awesome

[@GraceNoteForge]

Thank you! 🙏

[@hasger1941]

Thanks...

[@zegmaarwiet]

Great tutorial! What I was unable to do was the subdivision on the second ring. Nothing happened :( but I prefer the final option better so no big deal. Thanks for sharing!

[@makumegane9628]

Thx

[@yoominhan2226]

💯💯💯💯💜

[@GambrixPL]

great tutorial and channel! could you make a tutorial about using these ring models to print using shapeways or other similar service? i'd like to try to print in bronze a ring made using your tutorial

[@GraceNoteForge]

Thank you! I've never tried a service like that before but I'll definitely look into it. Thanks for the suggestion. 👍

[@PointmanOps]

Love the pace and method at which you teach. I'm just getting into jewelry modeling. Is Zbrush better than Blender for jewelry design?

[@GareedibnAhmed]

Let me be clear:
Use Blender for 3d modeling
Use Zbrush for sculpting
Use Adobe substance for Painting 3d.

[@DamienDrake2389]

Hi! I was wondering, when doing the bevel option, is there a way to make the circle that the profile is based off of work in a mirror format? I'm having loads of trouble getting this to be symmetrical and the mirror modifier doesnt seem to work for it either.

[@Parmeshxwn]

Hey just wondering what you did to make multiple rods come out of nowhere and spin around the diamond? Did you use the mirror tool or something? Just started using blender today and your tutorials helped me a ton with making a necklace!

[@GraceNoteForge]

That's great to hear! I'm happy my videos help 😁
That was done using an Array modifier to rotate around the diamond.
Here's a great tutorial from another creator, that shows how to use it in a similar way as I did.

[@Parmeshxwn]

@@GraceNoteForge Thanks so much for all the help and info I really appreciate it and this helped me make supports for the jewels in a necklace im making!

[@aylinsalehi4901]

Hi, sorry I don’t have this little “add tours” how can I found it??? Thank u

[@rayr268]

On the second ring my proportional edit does affect both sides of the ring it only pulls it to one side or the other. Any clue what i am doing wrong? Great turtorial btw. Im getting a great understanding with these videos.

[@GraceNoteForge]

Sorry, It's really hard to tell without seeing it. It sounds like you may be moving it instead of scaling it? The proportional editing tool can work for scaling too, that's how I change the thickness of the ring on the bottom.
Thank you for watching! I'm glad the videos help 😁

[@hopeclark6990]

Hey! Also having an issue with this. I'm following step by step but when I select a part of the ring it doesn't select the other side, and when I try scaling in proportional editing it just makes the piece I selected bulge, but it doesn't effect the whole ring @@GraceNoteForge

[@gucc739]

hi how did you make it thicker?

[@sharxbyte]

I checked my settings and couldn't replicate changing the influence of the scale. It was either scaling the whole width on the y axis or if I turned off proportional it scaled just the selected vertices

[@nadezhdasmirnova9784]

how did you fixed it? I have the same problem now

[@CopperStateCustomAdmin]

how would I wrap a text around one fo those ring? like bolean an engraving for 3d printing?

[@GraceNoteForge]

I haven't tried printing an engraving yet but Peter Grande has a great video on doing exactly that: czcams.com/video/z8UbRQjWxOM/video.html

[@vanjansensilver]

when I press G and Y on a vertex it moves the entire object and not just that vertex. what am i doing wrong?

[@humanrich]

I hit a blunder straight up. When I use millimetres the scale is WAY off compared to yours. Mine seems stuck on metres. Is there a setting I need to change to have it scale appropriately? Sorry, massive noob here.

[@humanrich]

Nevermind, this video helped: czcams.com/video/ZI49VIcISaw/video.html

[@larrymoremckenzie3029]

I don't seem to have them options on my Mac?

[@martignymuse7848]

OMG that music ;(

[@mysticdavestarotmachinesho5093]

I lost you at scaling the mesh in the Y plane. You really did not explain at all for a beginner like me.

[@brobiv2452]

THIS DOESNT WORK!!!!!!!!
