Modelling
Organic SubD Ring Design: Elegance Redefined
Discover how to create fluid, organic ring designs with the Organic SubD Ring Design course. Through a series of practical tutorials, you’ll learn how to use RhinoArtisan’s SubD modeling tools to shape smooth, nature-inspired basket settings with elegant curves, precise prong placement, and strong structural integrity. The course guides you through the creation of cushion and round baskets, seamless connections, symmetry refinement, and the transition from SubD to NURBS for a polished, production-ready result. You’ll also prepare your designs for professional rendering using cutters, Boolean operations, and material adjustments that enhance the beauty of each gemstone.
