Description
In this course, I am going to guide you through the fundamental skills required to produce 3D designs. I will explain why I believe Rhino 3D is the best choice for beginners (and experts!) due to it's ease-of-use, accessible price point, and widespread adoption.
Learn how to create viable, production ready, 3D Models and designs using Rhino, the industry-standard design software.
I start super simple so you'll be ok with little or no experience. With these online tutorials, you'll be amazed what you can achieve.
The course is project-based, so you will applying your new skills immediately to real 3D designs. All the project files will be included, so you'll never get stuck.
I've also included the following additional assets for you to use in your projects:
Round cut gem
Cushion cut gem
Princess cut gem
Pear cut gem
Marquise cut gem
Baguette cut gem
Emerald cut gem
Oval cut gem
Student feedback:
"Hi Aaron,
I just wanted to say how thrilled I am to find and use your Udemy tutorial on Rhino 3D for beginners. I'm crushed because I spent $750 on a class here in the US that was more confusing than anything. I was skeptical before taking your class thinking I just wasn't getting it....well, turns out it's the instructor! Gosh, what a difference! You obviously plan your lessons, you're clear, you understand you're dealing with beginners and let us know when and what to click and why. Thank you thank you thank you! I will advise Rhinoceros that you should be the go to person for jewelry design! Thanks again!

I am the owner and operator of Starfield CAD, where I provide 3D jewellery design as well as product visualisation and rendering to clients around the world.
In 2003 I started my apprenticeship as a jeweller. Working through my qualifications as a jeweller has given me all of the traditional bench skills and more, such as repairing, restoring, hand-making, master pattern and mould production, designing, selling, and batch manufacturing.
Seeing the power and potential of CAD and how it was starting to revolutionise the industry, I seized the opportunity to take these bench skills and apply them to the digital design aspect of jewellery manufacture. Since that decision, I have worked for a premier jewellery house as their head CAD designer, always expanding my knowledge and pushing the boundaries of possibility.
