Rendering
Master in Jewelry Rendering in Cycles
Turn finished models into images that sell. This course walks the whole Cycles pipeline inside RhinoArtisan: organising a model by layers and outliner, the difference between design and render materials, posing pieces on the ground and in pairs, building and editing environments, and the render settings behind resolution, quality and post effects. It closes with cutters for advanced gem rendering — the detail that makes stones read as real.

Crafting Engagement Masterpieces
Five engagement rings, modelled start to finish: a halo with a cathedral shank, a cushion solitaire, and a three-ring solitaire collection. You build the settings that define each piece — halos, baskets, peg heads, prongs and rails — then move on to helix shanks, fittings for casting and the render that sells the design. Every finished ring is saved to Curator, so you end the course with a collection ready to show clients.
Iconic Fashion Pieces
Six pieces that go beyond the classic solitaire: three statement rings — fashion, fantasy and advanced — plus a matching bezel-set pendant, earrings and ring. You work with reference images and curve patterns, Flow Along Curve, Quick Array Polar and profile-driven shanks, then stage the whole set in a single scene with cutters and materials for the final render. The result is a coordinated collection, not three unrelated rings.
From RhinoArtisan to Keyshot: Jewelry Rendering Essentials
From RhinoArtisan to KeyShot teaches you how to prepare your jewelry designs for professional-quality rendering. Through practical steps, you’ll learn how to organize your 3DM models, materials, and environments, connect RhinoArtisan with KeyShot using Live Linking, and refine your scene with realistic materials, lighting, and composition. The course also covers techniques such as multi-material metals, improved diamond realism, and fast model updates between both platforms, helping you create polished images for portfolios, social media, and client presentations.
