Modeling and rendering jewelry is so fascinating! Your render shot at the beginning is beautiful. This is really a great tutorial. Big THANKS! :)

[@djtutorialscgi]

No worries! Thank you for the compliment!

Amazing video

[@djtutorialscgi]

Glad you think so!

[@igglybluff7019]

Thanks a lot!

[@alexihunt101]

Really a great help thank you for the tutorials. I wonder how do you know hich nodes/steps are needed to create a close to accurate metal render? I come from just using Rhinos mostly default render settings.

[@djtutorialscgi]

I’m god it helped! There are a lot of documents and data showing what makes a good metallic shader so I just make mine according to what works for me.

[@Gettutorials123]

Ultra realistic renders!

[@Leukick]

You are the goat! 🔥 Buddy how do you get the diamonds to have those rainbow-y fire reflections?

[@djtutorialscgi]

Thanks! I have a video on that.

[@altar7885]

Hi, great video, thanks a lot. I'm using Rhino 7, which uses the Cycles renderer. Would the same procedure work in Rhino do you think?

[@djtutorialscgi]

It should except Rhino tends to be more straight angles etc since it is for engineering, correct? If so, I would try adding a Bevel normals node to the shader so that you can round off the sharp edges so it doesn’t look so mechanical

[@altar7885]

@@djtutorialscgi Rhino has improved on the angles problem. I should really learn Blender, but I find it very daunting. I'm not sure that could learn it on my own.

[@djtutorialscgi]

I have a TON of tutorials but also I recommend Grant Abbitt’s beginner series. It’s really good.

[@reuegabe9037]

Thanks for the video, can you tell me, where can i download "lightbox" hdr map?

[@djtutorialscgi]

There aren’t that many for free unfortunately but you can make your own. If you set up a scene as a light box then render out a 360* image (save as a 32 bit exr at 6K) you can basically create your own HDRI.

[@JRHainsworth]

The normal seems to give me flat shading.

[@craftingkid]

I'm having the same issue, was this ever solved?

[@djtutorialscgi]

Are you using GPU or cpu for rendering?

[@parmardhaval8705]

help this page with financialyy send him doller to more study ilke this full worth it

[@djtutorialscgi]

Yes I agree!
