In this detailed course, you’ll learn to design a stunning engagement ring that blends elegance with durability. Guided step-by-step, you’ll model a 2-carat Cushion cut center stone set in a classic yet robust basket with circular prongs, secure rails, and a cathedral shank with diamonds. By the end, you’ll create a lifelike render that captures the ring’s luxurious details and professional polish.
What You’ll Learn
Establish the Foundation: Curve and Diamond Creation
Learn to set up a custom reference curve in the USA size 7 and create a 2-carat Cushion cut gemstone, positioned precisely using Osnap and the Gumball tool.
Create a Secure Basket Setting
Design a sturdy, elegant basket setting with circular prongs. Adjust height, diameter, and rail dimensions to create a secure foundation that also highlights the center stone.
Model the Cathedral Shank for Strength and Style
Craft a cathedral-style shank that complements the center basket. You’ll learn to modify dimensions and align the shank for a perfect intersection with the upper rail, ensuring both strength and elegance.
Add Accent Gems to the Shank
Position accent diamonds along the shank, adjusting the drill height and spacing to achieve a balanced, seamless design that complements the central gem.
Apply Finishing Materials and Rendering
Master the rendering process by applying realistic materials like 18k White Gold for the metals and a diamond texture for the gemstones. Pose your model and set up lighting to capture the elegance of your design.
