Good morning fellow Zbrushers,
I wanted to share my finished pieces and the process that I used to create my first own jewelry collection.
I used to sketch my designs on paper, but I found that playing with shapes in Zbrush really helps finding my shapes. When I like the shape I make a npr render to see the lines clearly and get a new perspective:
When I am happy with the design I use Zbrush to make a production ready file (right thicknesses, weight/price) using the kitco plugin that comes with Zbrush.
Before going into production I created a render with blender (cylces) to be sure I am happy with it:
Here are some pictures of the final piece:
Recently I also found a way to use Zbrush for the packaging. I rendered the piece with an NPR filter to get a clean outline and used a laser to engrave the boxes the jewelry comes in:
I hope you guys like it, i created several other pieces that way, will post them later!
