Description

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 3D Parametric Smart Objects and save them in your own asset library. You will also learn how 3D Parametric Smart Objects are best used for embossing and 2D Parametric Smart Objects are best used for engraving.

N.B. The skills you learn here will also allow you to design bracelets and there is in fact one lesson on bracelets.
