Using JewelCraft as the Blender 4 Asset Manager in order to use this new version of Blender. The user interface for Blender 4 is the same as Blender 3 and Blender 2.92 for 3D printing.
Design personalized earrings and pendants by combining parametric smart objects in blender, save assets in a dedicated library with jewel craft, and export repairable LBJ files for 3d printing.
Learn to design and repair 3d jewellery in blender, export as obj after netfabb basic repair, then slice with cura or chitubox and upload to shapeways for materials.
Learn to determine the weight of earrings, pendants, and other objects in Blender 2.9 using Jewel Craft by converting curves to meshes and calculating weight in sterling silver.
Create a simple 2D parametric smart object in Blender from a JPEG or PNG by using a background image, drawing with a Bezier circle, refining control points, and extruding.
This video course is aimed at all ages who wishes to create their own personalised jewellery without having to invest in any equipment or software (all software is downloadable for free). Using the software tool Blender (used by millions) coupled with the JewelCraft addon and with the added function of using FluidDesigner Parametric Smart Objects created by the author of this course anyone can create their own jewellery with ease. This combination of software allows the user to simply join objects together to create complex 3D printable jewellery, and other useful objects, with little technical skill or knowledge. Anyone can create their own personalised jewellery and get it 3D printed at Shapeways, an online manufacturer who you simply upload your file to get made in silver, gold, bronze, plastic, etc., or even print at home on a desktop printer in wax (which can then be set to your local casting house) or alternatively cheap disposable plastic jewellery can made on a home printer. The course will show you how you can create your own 2D and 3D Parametric Smart Objects and save them in your own asset library. You will learn how 2D Parametric Smart Objects are best used for engraving whilst 3D Parametric Smart Objects are best used for embossing.
The skills learnt on this course in 3D Design are transferable as a wide range of items can be created using Parametric Smart Objects (e.g. Lighting, Kitchen goods, Artwork, etc.).
