NEW NEW: I am offering 1-on-1 sessions now for anyone who wants to learn directly with me!

Hey there! (Attention: this class is not for beginners. If you are just starting out with Blender and 3D, go here: https://skl.sh/3xw8S77)

In this class, you will learn all about 3D modeling signet rings, be it for printing, rendering, or just for fun! We use the open source tool Blender, which possesses a quality unheard of: it is both free and extremely well made.

So if you always wanted to:

- learn more about jewelry design

- get really into modeling 3D printable designs

- bring your Blender skills to the next level

...this class is made for you.

The finished files can be sent to a 3D printer to be printed in any material, and the results can also be used for creating beautiful renderings, or even be sold on an online marketplace.

Some basic understanding of Blender is helpful, because I don't cover every little detail of the program.

If you want to start out from the very beginnings with 3D and 3D-printable designs, please have a look at this class, From Sketch to Model.

For an in-depth introduction into Blender for the absolute beginner, please also check out this class.

For creating a 3D printable engagement ring design with diamonds, I also welcome you to check out Foundations of 3D Jewelry Design.

The only requirement is having Blender installed and a mouse (not a trackpad), a keyboard with a numpad is also very helpful.

The resulting files can for example be send to a print on demand service like Shapeways to be printed in bronze, silver, steel and many more materials! If you use this promo code you will get 15% off your first purchase: UG96S4 Or of course, print them yourself!

Parts of this class can also be watched for free on my Youtube-Channel.
