In this video I'm going to share with you one of the plug-in that I found from
the Rhino3d.com, and it's really useful to have all different kind of facet to
play with. Are you ready? let's get started.
the plug-in, and it's free, that I going to share with you is the one right here
on the top. It's called polyhedra and this is command as I download from the
rhino3d.com. Let's go ahead with the Google and find where that software and
plug-in is. If you go to rhino3d.com and then you go into "resource". There are
a lot of very interesting things here. Some is useful, some will charge you. A
lot of them are free, you can find more of those kind of plug-in in the food4Rhino
as well and if you go to jewelry, this actually has a lot of about 3D
printing, different kind of resource for you. What I wanted to find and already
found it is called "polyhedra" and it's for rhino 6, and all you need to do
is download this one,and it's totally free. Once you download, and you go to
your Rhino then how you're going to bring up is going to
toolbar command, and incyour tool bar you will see something right here for
all your plug-in. I have paneling tool I have the default for which you have
as well, and then you will have this Rhino polyhedra. Once you click on the
Rhino polyhedra, and this little things will show up anywhere.
like this little window right here, and you just need to docking into
any place that you like. somebody like it on the bottom. So I like it on the top.
What are they is they can create those mesh really really quick, and you have a
lot of options so that's just gonna going open the
window and I'm not a mathematics or scientist person, so a lot of them, I
don't even know what they are. but luckily is they always have preview.
You can open any of them and look at the preview, and see if that work
for you. What we're gonna do with this is we're gonna pick up the shape.
For the jewelry purpose, we're gonna pick up a shape that we think we will like. I
will see this is very good for few purpose. First, you can use for some
crystal instead of a building all this crystal yourself. You can use this and
tweak it, or you can create some sort of a facet jewelry with this. and
Boolean them all together. I already have some form that I pick it up
over here. and I'm gonna use one of them maybe this one to create a ring really
quick so let me copy that into the other layer here, and turn off this.
This is what we have and remember this is going to be mesh. If you click on
this, it will say closed mesh, so we have to use the mesh editing tool.
I'm going to use the align tool, and align to the center. So
that is right in the middle. The same thing on the top align to the center so
actually the center is at zero at this point. You can rotate any angle you
like I'm just gonna do a quick demo here. Let's go ahead to set a ring size to
diameter 16 millimeter over here. I do want my ring actually much bigger
something like this. okay and I'm gonna look at the top view to decide how thick
I wanted to have on my ring. For example, something like this. so I gonna use the
Gumball to scale it down, and we are going to create an extrusion.
so I'm going to use the "extrud planar curve" both sides=yes.
Notice that the one I just extruded right here says it's closed extrusion, and
this one is mesh. Those two cannot be edited at the same time. So we need to
turn this one into the mesh first, so right here, click on that triangle, you
will have mesh tool. What we wanted to do is we want to turn it into the mesh, and
usually I will just use this one has either few polygons or more polygons. If
you are really into the certain type of the mesh, you might want to come in
"more detail" to adjust it. I'm just gonna stay with the "more polygon", and click OK.
Regular boolean tool is not gonna work, because those are working for poly
polysurface or NURBS surface. We need to have this mesh tool. Under the mesh tool, you
have this "Boolean Mesh Unit", "Boolean Mesh Difference." So we're gonna use
"Mesh Boolean Difference". This will be different out of this one. Let's
take a look on the render view. As you can see this is a pretty good mesh.
we might not able to round the corners at this point, but we can have your jeweler
after casting just round off the corner a little bit. And this is ready to
go. You see, just few minutes, you will get a pretty good faceted ring over
here. The second things that we can do. I'm just quickly come up something
really rough here. This looks like a bunch of a bubbles stick together, but
they all have facets, and let's take a look on the render view, so once they
finish they will look like something like this to get in this point is quite
easy too. Basically what I did is I picked up one of the rough surface and
"Mesh Boolean Union" them together and cut a ring out of it, so
they are a lot of useful plug-in and a lot of them are free at food4Rhino. I
hope you enjoy today's video and try out something to show me what you get.
I will love to see what you come up with, if you're the first time to my channel
