3D Jewelry Design Considerations
Just watched a 3D jewelry design video on Matrix 6. Wow. This has to be one of the best looking 3D rendering engines I’ve seen. Impressive. Equally impressive are some of the mockups I’ve seen come out of RhinoGold v2. Both programs are built on Rhino’s impressive 3D rendering engine.
The migration from 2D illustration into 3D CAD/CAM jewelry design (technical rendering) is certainly a bit daunting, even with some AutoCAD training under my belt. But, wow! I’ve seen 3D designs in the past few days that look very much like finished photographs. I found it hard to tell the difference with a few of them. The ability to present these kinds of high-quality 3D comps to a high-end client for a custom commission certainly has merit. Now, about that learning curve…
