How 3D Works?
3D software uses computer-generated lines, surfaces, or solids to create 3D models of a jewelry item.
With a 3D model you can assign specific metals, gems and colors to make a rendering.
These renderings can be very realistic and can be generated and viewed at any angle around the item.
Modeling in 3D is very different from drawing or designing in 2D.
The 3D style of drawing has a higher degree of difficulty than 2D.
Although each 3D program has ways of tackling these tasks, none of them is a causal effort.
Why should we study computer aided designing, instead of manual designing?
Manual Designing, was the only form of jewellery designing until the introduction of Computer Aided designing (CAD).
With the introduction of Computer Aided Designing (CAD), jewellery which was drawn – designed on the paper (canvas), identical drawing could be made on the computer with much higher complexity and accuracy compared to manual designing.
a)
Time:
Given a “X” period of time, a designer can make 5-10 designs on the computer compared to a design made manually.
If a designer makes 1 design using permutation and combination that one design on the computer can lead for 5-10 drawings which would not be possible if the jewellery is drawn manually.
b)
Colour & drawing:
On the computer you are exposed to 13 million colours, you do not need to be good at drawing or an artist do draw on the computer as the tools available for drawing make it much simplier.
