Week 6 - Peyman Pirzadeh - Ring Project

For the ring project my inspiration was the military rings. Since SCAD doesn't have a graduation ring I decided to design and model a graduation ring for our school. 

So I started the modeling by making curves. In this part I only used circles for where the finger goes and the top of the ring. Then I had another curvy line and used Crv2view to shape my circle lines to the curvy line. Then I used Surface From Network of Surface to apply a surface on my curves. Then I used Rotate to rotate and copy one side to another so I would have my ring's body. Then

 I had other curves on each hole's side I used Sweep2 to make them a surface. Finally I used loft to create the inside part and to connect holes together. For the top part also I used a curve and a rail and had the command Railrevolve to make the curve a surface. Finally for the text on top I used LUV curves and FlowAlongSrf to apply the curve on my created surface.

For the Materials I used Matt Gold for the body part, Copper for the part under texts and leather for the stand. I also used HDR Office Environment image to get the reflection on my ring surface.
