Welcome back to PJ Chen Design Channel. Today we are going to talk about this
stacking rings, and how they can be arranging nicely on the bottom but flow
on the top. Are you ready? Let's get started!
We are going to starting the ring at the front view, and decided what ring size we
are doing. So 16 mm it's fine, like what I do usually, and then we want to draw a line
from the center, snipping into this quadrant, and depends on how big you want.
It depends on your design, so I'm gonna have roughly about 6 millimeter width
when they all stacking together. So I wanted to have 3 on each side.
That gives me something like this. I'm gonna mirror that piece we
just draw, and send it to the other side by mirror. So I will have
something like that. First of all, I'm going to draw my first and last ring.
and I'm going to use the curve is called interpolate point, and I'm going to
starting with something like this. You can be creative, but make sure that the
it doesn't have really tight area. You may have a problem when you try to
sweep, and you may not look nice. So we want to have the curve is small like a
gentle curve there, and you keep editing until you find something that you like.
The second curve gonna snap into that point, and we can have it come
over something like this. and then if that's not that things they
want. You can add it at one more time. I need to have five in
between, so I'm going to use, this is a total of seven rings stacking together,
so I'm gonna come to the top view, and use the commands called tween curve. I'm
going to tween you and you in between, so you will evenly out between the curve
like this to create those profile there. Now I have all those curve I needed.
this curve in this orientation. so what we're gonna do is we're gonna
split this curve first in half. I'm going to split by this curve, so I have
the top curve I'm going to put into the red colors, easier for you to see. We also
creating a new layer, and that's the layer we want to work on. So first
we're gonna use the Curve from 2 Views, and we're gonna do this one with the
first curve. Again this one with the second curve, and then you're gonna do
that to all of them. Make sure that you you color it right, so you won't get
confused what is what, and you cannot do all of them at once. You have to do it
separately so that's how we get the top one. For the
bottom one, I'm gonna just gonna copy the rest of them in there, and that's how you
get the bottom one. if you like it let's go ahead to select both of the top in
the bottom and let's go ahead to join them so now they become one curve.
We need to do the profile on the bottom. I would like to have it on the bottom
this because it's just much easier if you need to do editing, and your
seam is on the bottom, so let's use the conic corners on rectangle, and I want
to type it 1 and 1, so I will have something like this. That would be
the profile for us to sweep, and I want to move that to the end point right here.
Then just basically copy a lot of them, because the distance that I have is
exactly one, so this will be fine if you wanted to have a different size and
thickness. You might want to calculate before the gap on the top as well. Let's
try one and see what happens. Sweep one, rail one, cross section, and then we get
something like this, and I just gonna keep doing for the rest of it.
This is a good example right here. if you happen to have something like that.
Something wrong with your curve. The best way to solve the issue is actually
rebuild all this point. So let's go ahead to rebuild all the curves, and we do not
want to have a too much of a change here. but 15 seems okay, I'm just gonna add it
one more for 16. If you see the change is too big that you don't like,
you can actually bump up to more points, and they will get more closer. Let me
bump it up to 24, so you get really close to set this area, and that is a acceptable,
and I'm going to click OK. We also need to double make sure, it is still round
enough. if not, we have to create a surface and pull back. Let's try one
more time and see if that still the problem. Let's go ahead
sweep one, got this one as a rail, cross-section, and it's much better now.
I'm just gonna go ahead to finish the rest of it.
and you can arrange some strone setting on the top. If you want a course for
stone setting, it's in the description below, and teach you all different type
of a stone setting. I want to give a big thanks for Dari's Jewelry, Carlos Hernandez
Conger's Jewellers, and Slavisa Paunovic. If i pronounce your name wrong
I'm really sorry, but I want to thank you for your donation. That really helped me
to improve my channel, buying the equipment that I need, and update the
software. Thank you for your donation and thanks everybody for your watching I'll
see you next!
