Perfect video, thanks Peter very descriptive!

[@gjuroo]

10:32 Nothing smarter comes to my mind at this moment but... While you still have mesh curve, press F to fill it. Then inset instead of sizing the whole curve. Make as many insets as you need. Then copy only those inseted edges and convert them to curves.

[@StevZzy1]

Great tutorial. Really easy to follow

[@genarogongora8705]

just downloaded the addon! thank you!

[@zer0six472]

Great video man 🤘thank you

[@ArizonaHeatRacing]

just upped my game! THNKS!

[@seasdaughter]

OMG this is so genius! I was feeling already almost giving up of the boolean tool!

[@juniorjp5619]

???

[@donxgraphics]

I wish you have a zbrush tutorial on this you probably the only one that's actually showing how to do this

[@juniorjp5619]

where can i find this boolean tool ? i dont think i have it and i download the latest version

[@sebyserrano7480]

Two questions: how do I make the bail and if I do, do I give it to the caster and they will combine the pendant and the bail together?

[@KIDBXNEZ]

Can you do a video about making a rectangular bail for pendants or flattening a side of the bail made with the circle tool

[@watchesandjewelry]

I can.

[@KOYFISH376]

what butten do you press for the mesh tool

[@gabsgabss]

Awesome tutorial! How do you do so the gems and prongs look in clay material? Currently, I see the gems with a shiny coat and a metal finish for the prongs. Can't see how to change this in the settings.

[@watchesandjewelry]

On my channel is a video that covers some add ons. One of them is a material addon. It is listed under the playlist for blender. There are three. The last or most current covers blender 2.9. In the materials is one called transparent.

[@watchesandjewelry]

If you want them to look like clay just assign the wax material. It is the closest

[@gabsgabss]

​@@watchesandjewelry Thank you so much! I am finding your blog and tutorials super useful for a newbie like me. Keep up the good work!

[@frazyfrog]

UR NOT GON SHADE ? aw man , this such a destructive way of working how can i turn back the prongs man ? u shouldve said something because i had to stop n colse blender now i cant seem to make it come back as u did

[@mrsospliffy3216]

Hello Peter. I just love your torturials. One problem though. When you get to the part about the PRONGS right, once I load my PRONGS for the diamonds they load in upside down. Can you help me?

[@watchesandjewelry]

Are u using the add gem from Jewelcraft? If you are. You may have to remove the addon and re install it. If you are using another source for your gems you can try and use. Control-A and set location and scale

[@mrsospliffy3216]

@@watchesandjewelry I'm using the JewelCraft package from your KZbin Channel. I also have a Mac. So I did exactly what you instructed for Mac users. But I will reinstall JewelCraft.

[@mrsospliffy3216]

I reinstalled JewelCraft, and reloaded my project. The Prongs still loaded upside down.

[@InitiallyJB]

Can you import a 3D piece from a camera to add to the Bender software

[@watchesandjewelry]

If you can 3D scan an object and convert it to an acceptable format, yes. I.e. lidar scanning on a phone, save it as an obj format file ten import into blender. You may have to tweak your object. It works great for gaming

[@KingLosTheJeweler]

for some odd reason i keep getting that same error even after i exported the .stl and imported it back in ..is there any way to make the mesh solid or something

[@watchesandjewelry]

What exactly is happening.

[@emmettmartin2639]

Try using the remesh tool. It will upscale the mesh like crazy and make it super hard to work with but it will fix errors for 3d printing. After upscaling use the decimate tool to downscale while keeping accurate mesh.

[@ShinyMegaRayquaza95]

Do you delete the diamonds at the end?

[@watchesandjewelry]

You only have to export the metal parts out as an stl file. Deleting the diamonds from your model isn’t necessary as long as you select the pendant only. Remember however, that the export window has a box for selected only. This needs to be checked otherwise blender will export all the models in the scene

[@jeff_desir]

How come the cutters get joined/merged with the diamonds everytime i use them? If i delete them after the boolean difference the diamonds disappear also. I'd like to keep them for rendering.

[@watchesandjewelry]

Not sure why you are having that issue. After adding the cutter, select the cutter, then the model. Make sure you have only those two items selected. Apply the Boolean difference. That should work every time.

[@jeff_desir]

@@watchesandjewelry thanks, I'll try to hide the stones before adding the cutters.

@@watchesandjewelry like im not taking pics i just need it to look real like is it the same steps or no

[@paulamay7195]

When a file is purchased, how do I gain access to that file?? I purchased it off your website. Thank you!

[@watchesandjewelry]

After you payed with PayPal there is a link to the download site. If you missed it I’ll have to resend it to you

[@watchesandjewelry]

I’ll send the link to your PayPal email address.

[@paulamay7195]

Thank you for the quick reply. I will look out for that next time. 👍🏻

[@TheRealTania]

i'm having trouble selecting the faces, it keeps selecting a whole panel alone

[@watchesandjewelry]

Hi... I’m going to assume you are in edit mode. If you cannot select a face individually, make sure that the “face select” option is selected in the upper left corner while in edit mode. If you’ve already done that, then switch to object mode, and make sure that the item “letter” that you have selected is a mesh object and not a text or curve object. If it is still a text object that has not been converted to a mesh, then do so while in object mode, then enter edit mode and you should be able to select any piece of the mesh you like, as a face, vertex or line. Hope this helps. If it didn’t, let me know I’ll work with you to get it set correctly.

[@alexanderindustrialudaf3045]

No, guys, this is not serious. No one should use hand pavé in special jewelry addons.

[@jb571]

What do you mean?

[@bwaanthony9355]

Are These Designs Print Ready ???

[@watchesandjewelry]

Any model you make in blender can be 3D printed. You should always check your models for errors and if it is fine and to scale, simply export it as an stl file. Import into your slicer and you are ready to go.

[@Riker20]
