Hi @t.shinya
another very beautiful ring, enjoying seeing your work.
I was wondering, since you do a lot of scroll style designs with SubDs, do you start with MultiPipe? or sweeps + offsets ? or simply extruding faces to build the shapes?
or perhaps another way ? or a combo?
I’m asking because the other day, I needed to make some scrolls like shapes, and found myself pushing and puling for far too long trying to get the shapes right…?

with thanks
Akash

@t.shinya looks awesome! How did you get the materials to show this way? Is it one subd object or several with the materials applied per object?

Thanks,

Hello @Akash,

Thank you for the kind words!

Yes, it takes time for me to fine-tune the shapes.
I normally watch Youtube on one screen and move control points on another screen. :grinning:

As far as initial geometry creation goes, I’m still trying to figure out the best way as well.

  • 3D Face command with From Edge option.
    This is good but it requires an extra click when you choose edges.

  • Draw curves and run Multipipe
    I can’t seem to find an option for the geometry orientation. The profile is rotated and the outcome is not ideal. Also, the command still has a few bugs. RH-61515 , RH-61546

  • Extrude edges with Gumball
    So far, this is the best option in my opinion, although it takes time.

I’m going to try SubSweep1 next.

Yes, the gold part is a separate SubD object.
The ring has 2 parts. (background and the rest)

Beautiful :slight_smile: What rendering software are you using?

How long did it take from start to finish. Have you tried any 3d printing?

This one is rendered with Maverick.
I think it took me 2-3 hours total including rendering time.
It could be quicker if I knew the design, but I design as I model.
I haven’t printed this model but I have printed many models in the past.
