Morgaine- thanks and it is a masonic emblem.

Wow Tomas its been a while since I last looked thru here.
I love your new works I keep thinking of Giger when I look at your new stuff great to see your style evolve and I might add the new sig you have now is very wonderful. Do you still look in on the matrix forum? haven't seen you in there.
Thanks for taking the time to show us what you do and how you do it.
all the best luck for your new venture.

Hello

A friend told me about Zbrush and enter the site and see your work of jewelry that has surprised me with details you can model.
Congratulations on your work is great!
I wanted to ask: How long does it take to get to do some work so good? besides talent.

a greeting

Your work is simply outstanding! I'm really interested in this process because it really simplifies everything I have been trying to learn. I've been using matrix 6.0 for about 6 months now, and for "normal" jewellery it has done quite well! But the thing i'm really interested in, is jewellery like yours. Really cool intricate designs that are milled or printed and then cast. My program setup has not been kind to me though, exporting the properly sized rings from matrix to zbrush and then back to matrix has not only been a nightmare it's simply just unusable! Modo seems like a good solution though, and I am very interested in learning your work process

My questions are:

1. Where did you learn modo? By yourself through tutorials or at a school?

2. I understand how important it is keeping the sizes of jewellery (especially rings) constant throughout the work until it is grown or milled. Can you use modo to keep these sizes just like matrix can? Or do you do all the size adjustments in matrix? matrix has so many nice presets for sizes and ring shapes that it seems a shame not being able to use them



I look forward to more updates! I loved the Noh masks.

hey guys thanks as always.....
tweezer- thanks ... honestly I'm so busy I don't get to the forums much. maybe I'll do a photo dump soon. I am on cadcamtrav more often than not.

davito- thank you for the kind words, I've been using zbrush for a few years now, but I've been a sculptor for 25+ years

Hboybowen- Wish I knew what is was that you left....

PandaPropaganda- 1. Both I would say mostly my own but lately I've been picking up some of the tutorials. I have no idea how to render lol in any program. 2. I scale in modo and when I export STL I set the absolute scale in the 3dexporter tool.

yes I will post some new images soon just been busy with the work

Good show. I'm a ceramic designer. I have a serious focus on producing a haute line of high fired bone quality porcelien jewlery designs.

This is for radical wax manipulation. I dare say you are up the line from me. You are doing a great job- Mitch

[T.S.Wittelsbach]

I am so bad about keeping up with the new work..
here are a couple pieces i think you guys will like.

the mermaid piece is the ring I made for Paul Gabory Zbrush book ZBrush Professional Tips and Techniques. http://www.amazon.com/ZBrush-Profess...8426370&sr=8-1
Its Palladium with a 30ct electric purple amethyst and diamonds

The skull is showing at the Palladium Alliances Couture booth at JCK this weekend.
It is Pallidium, Rose gold, with 220 black and white diamonds
