3D Print of Ring

The creation of my ring model was inspired by a character that I created in high school, who had the ability where anything that he drew or painted would come to life just by him touching it. I wanted to give a ring a simple but technical look and I named the ring after my character, Arte. The glowing buttons on the ring symbolize the primary and secondary colors of the color wheel. The center stone was inspired by my birthstone the Alexandrite which changes color when exposed to light. My modeling techniques included: Polyline Tool command, Control Point Curve command, Ellipsoid Tool command,  Boolean Difference command, Boolean Union command, Boolean 2 Objects command, and the Fillet Edges command. The materials that I used for the ring consist of Black Chrome, Anodized Black Metal, Glossy Plastic Red, Glossy Plastic Blue, Glossy Plastic Yellow, Pumpkin Orange Plastic, Hard Green Plastic, Hard Violet Plastic, Matte White Plastic, and Aquamarine Gemstone that I made a bluish-green to resemble my birthstone.  I incorporated the rendering passes into my ring to give it a more clean, sleek reflective look. My favorite modeling technique for the ring was using the Polyline Tool command to make the buttons on the top.
