In this class, we will discover the power of curves in Blender and use them to create dazzling 3D jewelry designs. No matter if you are a beginner exploring Blender or an intermediate 3D artist, this class will guide you towards mastering one of Blender's most versatile (and sometimes most feared) design tools: curves.

I’ll guide you step-by-step as we:

• Explore Curve Fundamentals: Learn how curves work in Blender, understand profiles and handles, and why they’re an absolute must-have in your digital toolbox.
  
  
• Build an Ornamental Ring: Apply what you've learned in a project! Use curves to design a beautifully detailed, 3D-printable ring with intricate shapes and sparkling stone settings.
  
  
• Check out Techniques: Create seamless repetitions with arrays, transform and bend curves into all kinds of different geometry, and integrate elements into cohesive designs.
  
  
• Uncover Blender Secrets: Find out about super helpful tools like the remesh modifier for quickly converting your curve designs into watertight, 3D-printable, sculptable meshes.
  
  
• Render Like a Pro: Set up lighting, materials, and a professional-grade render to showcase your finished piece in style.

By the end of this class, you’ll have a completed ornamental ring design ready for rendering, printing, or sharing, and a whole new skillset for tackling any design project in Blender.
