I started off creating my ring in Fusion 360 by following tutorial. I had trouble curving the outside of the ring because i had my rectangles in a separate sketch from the ring. I eventually fixed this and moved over to Meshmixer.
I wanted my ring to be a crown. So I tried to create triangles on top of the ring with gems on the side of the ring. Making the triangles was very easy but they were not visually appealing. I decided to start from scratch and move back to Fusion 360.
The triangles in Fusion looked way better than in Meshmixer. However, the process for making the triangles and aligning them onto the top of the ring was very tedious and time consuming.
Finally, I got the triangles to look the way I wanted and i moved back to Meshmixer once more to create the gems. The gems were very simple to make, all i did was use the sculpt tool, use the drag brush, and adjusted the falloff to be more rounded. Im very happy with my final design and look forward to seeing what Shapeways sends my way!
