i’d like to learn a good work flow for doing that kind of stuff too.
i see a lot of jewelery sculpts in the main forum with the same patterns and cuts, so obviously it’s being done.
it’s just not so obvious to me how to make it that clean and precise.

hopefully someone will come by with at least a link…Doug are you there?:smiley:

There are several ways to do that. I’m no expert but to me it seems you can use the extract menu under subtools menu. You might have to play around with the sliders until you get the effect you need. The cool thing is that you’ll be using the shading in order to obtain your cut offs. The kind of stuff you can do with extract is truly amazing specially when having traditional 3D software in mind.
