Shiny things
Jan. 9th, 2020 09:51 pmI mentioned to ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
karanguni on a post about crafting that (once when I had free time?) I play(ed) with blender to model jewelry that I then get Shapeways to print in metal, and she asked me if I had pics. (Tangentially, how do people get their pictures on DW? Is there a way I can do this easily directly from my phone? (I don't consider emailing it "easily."))
So... I started doing this because I really, really like gemstones. I have a bunch of (usually small, often synthetic and cheap, I'm not picky about provenance but SUPER picky about things like color and cut) stones and wanted to set them but I also have particular ideas about how to set them.
Here are four years' worth of playing with blender. (Not that I have 4 years worth of experience.. .it's more like one month of experience repeated a bunch of times... "play with it for a month, order some stuff, forget about it for a year, get reminded I like making shiny things, realize I've forgotten everything I know about blender, rinse and repeat.") I used the JewelCraft addon for almost all of these. Probably used other addons but that was the main one.
There is more but this was the stuff that was in my jewelry box.
