Something Beautiful in Jewellery – Zbrush’s Dedicated Jewellery Design Case Studies
It was recently brought to my attention that when Maxon (makers of Zbrush) expanded their website, they officially included the jewellery industry as one of their official user bases for the site. This is in no small part thanks to the pioneering work of several talented craftsmen with dedication and staggering amounts of free time on their hands.
The result is a technical case study section of arresting beauty. For a software page, this features quite a catalogue of awe-inspiring high end jewellery work, featuring sculptural CAD heroes like TS Wittlesbach and Jack Du Rose alongside some newer faces.
I love how these guys have found the perfect way to bring their traditional sculptural skills into jewellery design. We need more people like them flying the flag for what jewellery CAD technology can do!
If you’re looking for some fine jewellery design inspiration for the week, start with Zbrush’s jewellery design case studies!
