I had only 6 minutes left in a recent class but had promised my students that I would show them how to make a quick custom ring. Well, I blew the deadline by 2 minutes... (And I probably spent 3 minutes in explaining as I went along but I won't mention that.) :)

In this +- 20 minute video, Joel and Gary demonstrate two similar, yet different approaches to making a 7-gem ring. Starting with a shank a curve and a single gem, they both build the upper part of the ring including gem placement, under-bezels, and prongs. Trust me, you have 4 minutes for this quick demonstration of the new rendering capabilities of Rhino 6. |
