How Do You Design A 3D Ring?
One approach to designing a three-dimensional ring is to use 3D design software, which has special tools for turning 2D designs into three dimensions. One of these tools is called a lathe modifier, which does essentially what a real-world lathe does: It spins a cross-section around an axis to create a 3D shape. Making a ring with the lathe tool involves drawing the outline of this cross-section and then calling up your design application’s lathe tool to spin the outline. Open a new scene or document in your 3D design application, and navigate to the window (also known as “viewport,” in some apps) labeled “Front view.” (The front view lets you draw a 2D shape and view it clearly without any 3D distortion.) Select your app’s tool for drawing lines, which may be labeled “Splines.” Click the starting point for the starting line segment toward the upper part of the design window. Complete a circle with the line tool. Use as many points and line segments as you’d like, but be sure to make th
