Diamond Ring - Polyloop

Grendel · 30th December 2005, 13:33

I felt inspired by Steph3d's beautiful work on the top row and made a diamond ring. Modeled in Hexagon and rendered in C4pro.

Good work and cool texture. Can we see a wire?...
Btw. the ring-holder looks somehow not really like a finger. Perhaps you can place the ring somewhere else? (In a ring-case or so?)
Best regards JuST

The texture is just the diamond preset for the stones and aged silver preset for the metal. It was a test to model a diamond like a diamond is actually faceted in real life. I am doing a short tutorial on modelling the stone right now and should post it tomorrow in a revised format from the camera one so I can get some feedback before starting a longer tutorial. The sparkle of the stones is very dependent on the facet proportions as in real life. Here is the wire.
