In this class, we will discover the power of curves in Blender and use them to create dazzling 3D jewelry designs.

No matter if you are a beginner exploring Blender or an intermediate 3D artist, this class will guide you towards mastering one of Blender's most versatile (and sometimes most feared) design tools: curves.

I’ll guide you step-by-step as we:

Explore Curve Fundamentals: Learn how curves work in Blender, understand profiles and handles, and why they’re an absolute must-have in your digital toolbox.
Build an Ornamental Ring: Apply what you've learned in a project! Use curves to design a beautifully detailed, 3D-printable ring with intricate shapes and sparkling stone settings.
Check out Techniques: Create seamless repetitions with arrays, transform and bend curves into all kinds of different geometry, and integrate elements into cohesive designs.
Uncover Blender Secrets: Find out about super helpful tools like the remesh modifier for quickly converting your curve designs into watertight, 3D-printable, sculptable meshes.
Render Like a Pro: Set up lighting, materials, and a professional-grade render to showcase your finished piece in style.

By the end of this class, you’ll have a completed ornamental ring design ready for rendering, printing, or sharing, and a whole new skillset for tackling any design project in Blender.

Whether you’re a jewelry designer, aspiring 3D artist, or just love learning and creating beautiful stuff, this class will (hopefully and almost certainly!) open up a world of new possibilities for your ideas.

You will need a PC or laptop with at least Blender 4.0 installed. Blender is free and open source and can be downloaded here. A mouse with a scroll wheel is important, a numpad on your keyboard is helpful. If you lack a scroll wheel and a numpad, please check out my class Blender for absolute beginners for a workaround in detail.

Join me, and let’s start crafting with curves!
