Finally, under the Modelling tab with the Boolean

Difference tool to remove the cutters from the ring’s

shank. Then, with the Boolean Union tool to unite all the

parts as a single object.

20




Signet Ring

Under the Jewellery tab, with the Signet Ring tool,

we can define a ring as the above image, in this

case is the number 18 from the European standard

measures. All the tool parameters can be defined in the

side panel.

1

Extract Surface

Now, under the Modelling tab with the Extract surfa-

ce tool we can remove the top Surface of the ring

as the above image. In this tool the options can be defi-

ned under the command line.

2

Smart Curve

Then, under the Drawing tab, with the Smart Curve

tool in the Right viewport to define a profile curve,

as the above image.

3

Revolve Rail

Now, under the Modelling tab with the Revolve Rail

tool to create a Surface in the top of the ring, ba-

sed on the profile curve created in the previous step.

4

In this tutorial we will try out some of the most useful com-

mands in RhinoGold. Powerful tools as Signet Ring, Splop,

Pave Automatic and Clayoo.

Bird Ring




Join

Then, with the Join tool from the Drawing tab to

unite all the surfaces in a single closed object.

5

Hollow Ring

Now, under the Jewellery Tab with the Hollow Ring

tool to remove the inside part from the ring, in this

case with 1mm thickness as the above image.

6

Smart Curve

Then, with the Smart curve tool from the Drawing

tab to define a curve in the top view. In this case

half of a leaf shape as the above image.

7

Smart Curve / Auto Connect

Now, still under the Drawing tab with the Smart cur-

ve tool in the top view to create the other half of

the leaf shape, as the above image. Then, with the Auto

Connect tool to unite the two curves as a single one.

8

Extrude

Now, select the curve defined in the previous step

and with the Extrude tool from the Modeling tab to

define a solid as the above image. In this case the thick-

ness is 1mm in the both directions. It’s important to activa-

te the solid option from the command line.

9

Splop

Then, we can place some copies of the leaf shape

object created before around the ring surface, to

do it, under the Transform tab with the Splop tool, as the

above image.

10




Boolean Difference


Difference tool to remove the parts created before

from the ring.

11

Gem Studio

Now, under the Gems Tab with the Gems Studio

tool to apply several gems along the ring, as the

above image. In this case it’s important to activate the

Orient on Surface option.

12

Dynamic Prong

Then, with the Dynamic Prong tool under the Jewe-

llery tab to apply the prongs to set the gems crea-

ted before.

13

Pave Automatic


tool to place gems and the prongs in the ring’s top

Surface, as the above image.

14

Cutter Studio

Now, with the Cutter Studio tool from the Jewellery

tab to place the cutters on all the gems created

before.

15

Boolean Difference


Difference tool to remove the cutters from the ring

as the above image.

16




Clayoo - Ellipsoid

Now, we can turn on Clayoo and with the Ellipsoid

tool from the Clayoo tab to create a ellipsoid as the

above image. All the tool parameters can be defined in

the side panel.

17

Clayoo - Rotate Gumball

Now, we should sellect the ellipsoid created before

and with the Clayoo rotation gumball activated to

adjust the position as the above image.

18

Clayoo - Move Gumball

Then, we should sellect some edges of the ellipsoid

and with the Clayoo Move gumball to start defining

the bird’s shape, as the above image.

19

Clayoo - Extrude

Now, under the Clayoo tab with the Extrude tool to

start defining the bird’s head, as the above image.

All the parameters from the tool can be defined in the

side panel.

20

Clayoo - Extrude

Now, under the Clayoo tab with the Extrude tool

again but this time define the bird’s beak. Just need

to select the face to extrude and in this case it’s impor-

tant to activate the tapered option in the side panel as

the above image.

21

Clayoo - Extrude

Then, under the Clayoo tab with the Extrude tool

again but this time define the bird’s tail. Just need

to select the faces to extrude and in this case it’s impor-

tant to activate the tapered option in the side panel as

well.

22





Then, still under the Clayoo tab with the Move gum-

ball activated we can select the faces to adjust the

position, as the above image.

23

Clayoo - Scale Gumball

Now, with the Scale gumball from Clayoo to adjust

the bird’s shape, as the above image.

24

Clayoo - Extrude

Then, under the Clayoo tab with the Extrude tool to

define the bird’s wings. Just need to select the fa-

ces to extrude and define the distance in the side panel,

as the above image.

25


Now, with the Move gumball activated to adjust

the bird’s wings as the above image.

26


Now, again with Move gumball from Clayoo to

adjust the final details of the wings, as the above

image.

27


Then, with the Scale gumball activated to adjust the

bird’s tail, as the above image.

28





Finally, we can select the whole bird and with the

scale gumball to adjust the size of the bird as inten-

ded.

29

Clayoo To Nurbs

Now, still under the Clayoo Tab with the Clayoo To

Nurbs tool to create the surfaces from the Clayoo

object, then we can hide the original clayoo bird and

turn off clayoo.

30

Extract Surface

Then, with the Extract Surface tool under the Mode-

lling tab to extract the surfaces we don’t want to

apply gems, as the above image.

31

Pave Automatic


tool to apply the gems and prongs in the the bird,

as the above image. After do it we can use the join tool

to unite all the bird surfaces again.

32

Cutter Studio

Now, we can define the cutters to apply on the

gems created before. To do it, select the gems and

use the Cutter Studio tool from the Jewellery tab and

define all the parameters in the side panel.

33

Boolean Difference


Difference tool to remove the cutters from the bird.

34



Boolean Union

Finally, still under the Modelling tab with the Boolean

Union tool to unite the prongs and the bird as a

single object.
