very nice tutorial, thanks a lot!
another "trick" to place subtools, is to use "Array Mesh" with "radial" turned on.
so you dont have to mess with curves, and can position/rotate the subtool, then every copy of it will get updated live 😊👍
So surprised to see this topic covered. I hope there will be some videos for rhino as well. Thank you Rio
We have some Rhino videos in the works right now!
No princess or baguette gemstone setting tutorials?
Thank you!!
You are welcome!
Hi Scott, great tutorial! I learn a lot from your videos. I have a question for you, and I'd be grateful if you could answer it. I followed all the steps in your video, and the end result was very good. However, with live-boolean turned on in Zbrush, I cannot transfer the design to the Keyshot for rendering. The program wants me to turn off the live boolean. How can I get around this problem? Can you explain, or would it be possible for you to make a video about it?
I’ve personally never used Keyshot but if it won’t allow you to have Live Boolean on to transfer, I would try running the boolean and importing the booleaned mesh into Keyshot. You can go to the Subtool palette > Boolean > Make Boolean Mesh. It will create a new subtool in your project of the booleaned model. You should be able to import that one for a render.
thanks boss
Very versatile app.
We agree!
Is the a way to center the curve, horizontally and vertically, to keep the piece a perfect mirror of each side, or can we only adjust it manually until it looks right?
Hello Eduardo. Scott isn't aware of a way to perfectly mirror curves sides. You could turn on the ground plane and use the grid to be more exact, but that likely still wouldn't produce a perfect result. But since the piece is so zoomed in, and the actual dimensions of the piece so small, the difference in sides would usually be negligible. We hope this helps, but please let us know if you have any other questions.
It's just like find a middle ground.
Sir now i am doing freelancing can u give me some work
👍👍👍♥️
is there a way to limit the amount of beads that appear on a curve? ive been testing with just getting a certain amount of beads to go around a cylinder with no luck. Also, when changing the curve step they just move away from the mesh rather than adjust the spacing
If you're going for a certain number, I might use Radial Symmetry rather than using Curve Mode with an IMM brush. I wasn't able to reproduce Curve Step pulling the IMM brush away from the model, but I would make sure to check your Depth settings in the Brush menu. Hope this helps, let us know if you have any other questions!
@@RioGrande1944 thank you for replying! I tried with radial symmetry but the objects had the same rotation as where the original brush stroke is, rather than go off the surface normal.
So I found out the issue was created due to me trying to update the curve with settings when clicking on it, if I were to create a whole new curve with the curve steps then it would work as intended but with depth issues. Depth seems to have a hard limit to it so I can't just change it to fix the issue
Yes, once you start adjusting the curve, everything tends to lift off the surface. I personally haven't found a workaround other than splitting the stones out of the main design and adjusting manually. Bit of a pain, but I haven't found a quicker method yet. Best option is to get as close as possible when drawing the initial curve so there's minimal adjustment later.
Do you give classes on it
Hello Richard, we have many tutorial videos about ZBrush on our channel and you can find those here, ruclips.net/p/PLQ6Dbws9mbJRxOxCtnPquMNlI04FHPp35. But for a more traditional class experience for ZBrush in jewelry, we recommend either the Zbrush Jewelry Workshop with Tomas Wittlesbach and Eric Keller, or Zbrush Jewelry with Kat Adair.
We hope this helps, let us know if you have any other questions!
@@RioGrande1944 thanks
It's a pretty long process and not so handy afterall doing all those process it's not perfect at all.
