Using JewelCraft as the Blender 4 (or 3) Asset Manager in order to use this new version of Blender. The user interface from the point of view of 3D printing is the same in Blender 4 as Blender 3 as Blender 2.92.
Design personalized earrings and pendants in Blender 2.9 using initials with brush script, add ring findings, join to a mesh, and export for Shapeways printing.
Design your own earrings and pendants by assembling parametric smart objects in Blender, aligning shapes, and applying a cross-section bevel for a 1 mm thick LBJ export.
Design your own rings and bracelets in blender using parametric curves, wire mesh patterns, and panels, then adjust dimensions to craft a complete bracelet joined by split rings.
Learn to add a four millimeter gem to a ring in Blender, adjust inner diameter, and add prongs before exporting the ring as a wavefront object.
This video course is aimed at anyone who wishes to create their own personalised jewellery without having to invest in any equipment or software (all software is Open Source and hence downloadable for free from the internet). We use Blender as the main software and we will show you how to setup Blender for jewellery design and how to install special addons for Blender that make jewellery design easier. 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. You will learn transferable 3D design skills as a wide range of items can be created using Parametric Smart Objects.
