Sometimes the complicated design is done by the repetition of the form. We're
going to use this flower pendant to discuss this simple technique let's get
started!
we are going to go to the front view and draw a petal there. Let's go ahead to
design this outline. I'm going to draw something more like a leaf looking
things. Have that curve to mirror to the other side. Once I've done it, I would
like to round off the tip by going through the curve. You have fillet curve and let's
go ahead to fillet that one, and also fillet this one, and let's go ahead to join
all of them. Let's go to the top view and we want to draw a sphere snapping to
the "0". I want to be something like roughly about this big.
Now we want to go to the front view, and take a look on where you want
this location is for the petal, and then we can kind of line up them in the
center, and use this petal to trim the rest of the form. if you look at the
perspective view, you're going to see two forms over there. We only need one
of them, so we have the curve. The curve now turning to the
surface. How can we get this surface into the solid by using the command
it's called offset surface. Make sure that solid=no, because we just need
another piece over there, and you can decide the thickness for whatever is
suitable for you, then we are going to use the "blend" tool and we're going to
blend from this edges to the edges, again, you can adjust the point, if it is too
pointed, or too rounded, or if you like that just click OK. now I want to join
all of them. Double-check property over here. Make sure it's closed
polished surface, this will be the basic of our flower. I mean looking at
my right view, and I want to tilt this flower a little bit, and move it to the
center a little bit, so this will be my first layer. I'm planning to have 4
layers over there. I'm going to make a copy and paste, and with that one gonna
use the rotate tool to rotate it make it a little bit lower, so my flower won't
look pretty stiff. So I do have a two different layers. The one that I lowered a
little bit, I'm going to rotate a sixty degree from the center, so then we have
to pedal there. One is up one is down, but they're still connected for casting
purpose. Then Let's array them into a circle, we're gonna use polar array hit
"0" for our Center, and we want three of them, so that's how we get this shape
over here. Let's go ahead to group it and bringing up with the Gumball hit the
Alt key to make a copy, now we have two set of them, but this time we need to
make it slightly smaller, so we get this shape over here. I'm going to change
those into the red color, so you can see much better. so the form is
like overlapping too much and it's way too symmetrical, so for the red one I'm
going to use the rotate tool. Let's snapping into the center, and let's
rotate 30 degree here, so now it is more variety you can move it up a little bit.
if that work for you or you can kind of want a scale on the other one, let's do
something like this, so that way will give you more
right here over there, and you can also hold on both of them to make them a
little bit lower, so that will be our flower all you need to do next is put a
prong set in the middle, or you can have a bezel set. If you'd like to know how to
do the prong set you can click the video right here on the right top, it will take
you to the video that I have done before, and finally that's add the bail. Let's
take a look on the render view. This will be the flower design for today's
tutorial, if you are the first time here I would like to invite you to subscribe
my channel. There will be more Rhino for jewelry design coming up every week.
Thank you for watching. I'll see you next.
