The teddy bear is the friendliest shape in jewelry — and one of the trickiest to model well. There’s no symmetry to hide behind and no straight edge to measure against; every curve is judged by eye. In this project you’ll sculpt one entirely in SubD, sphere by sphere over three reference images, then turn the finished toy into a fully pavé-set jewel covered head to toe in diamonds.
Design a pavé teddy bear using RhinoArtisan.
In this tutorial you will learn how to:
- Set up the three reference images and sculpt the head from SubD spheres, shaping the ears with Soft Transform and mirroring them into a matched pair.
- Build the body, legs and arms from mirrored spheres, flattening the base so the bear stands while symmetry models both sides at once.
- Scale the bear to a 20 mm frame, strip the inner faces, and cover it with Automatic Pave at 0.8–1.0 mm, secured by prongs.
By the end of this project, you’ll have the skills to sculpt a fully pavé-set teddy bear from scratch.
