Six modules, in the order a piece is built. Open one to see its lessons.

From a design to a layered case with flat pavé, borders and a bail, then baked and rendered.

  • Masters
  • Silhouette: Black shapes for the name, the pavé field and the border.
  • SVG into Blender: Curve islands joined, origins aligned before anything gets depth.
  • Layered case: Extruded layers and recesses cut with Boolean cutters. Depth first, detail later.
  • Flat pavé: Staggered rows trimmed to the shape, every stone at one height.
  • Borders: Rails and side rows around the pavé field.
  • Bail
  • Bake and render: Materials, bake and the final render.

An organic relief base, remeshed and set with stones across its surface.

  • Organic relief
  • Remesh
  • Surface instancing

One link, decorated, sent along a curve and fitted to the body.

UVs, a bake target and a finish you can reuse.

Geometry budget, vertex grouping and DAE export, ready for the platform. The worked example is Second Life.

Supplemental lessons: rings, a character pendant and export fixes.
