Akiyo Matsuoka and Eva Tucek are authorised Rhino McNeel trainers, bringing their collective years of knowledge and experience in Rhino & Grasshopper to those who wants to learn CAD for jewelry design: www.akiyomatsuoka.com/ www.evatucek.com/
Their book, The Essential Guide to Digital Jewelry Design, is also available online at amazon in paperback: www.food4rhino.com/en/resource/essential-guide-digital-jewelry-design Or look on Gumroad for the PDF and all the complementary 3D model packs: gumroad.com/jewelrydesign The book is meant to help you understand how to create jewelry on the computer using computational design techniques, and generally maximise your workflow and possibilities.
We hope you enjoy and learn with us. Support email: essential-guide@digital-jewelry-design.com
Hello! Nice video! ¿How do you do to make both cut planes moves at the same time when you just move one of then (8:16)? If I try it, I can only move one at the time.
We used the rhino history - if the rhino history is on and you mirror an object, the object you have mirrored (ie. the copy) will move in the mirrored direction of the original whenever you move it, or scale or rotate it.
Thanks so much for taking the time and doing these tutorials. They help immensely. I'd love to see a video about creating balloon letters for necklaces in the future :))))
I love your videos. Thanks for taking the time and doing these tutorials. I've been using rhino but not grasshopper and I always wanted to learn the basic. Thank you a 1000 times.
what are the problems you are running into in particular? Sometimes Sweep is not the best tool for something that it may seem to be the logical command for in Rhino!
Do you mean with this particular Definition? It does take longer in Grasshopper to do things that are simple to do in Rhino, but you have so many advantages in the long run when you have that definition ready at hand, and you can use it in so many ways.
@@essentialguidedigitaljewelry your welcome I been using it since belgems... I hardly use Matrix anymore because it's light and I can have multiple projects at once.. I recommend it all the time
Sending a big "Thank You" to Akiyo and Eva for making this hour long tutorial💖 I've watched this twice already, how to make V-prong was very helpful. Looking forward to watching more tutorial series✨💗✨
This is a good tutorial. The only thing I would change is the second extrude at the beginning is unnecessary as one could offset the 1st extrude and have just that much less components to manage.
@@essentialguidedigitaljewelry Agreed. Even in Grasshopper programming it's best to follow solid software design principles including YAGNI... ("You Aren't Gonna Need It") is a practice in software development which states that features should only be added when required. Keep the definition as light as possible, like keeping curves and control points as light as possible. It's easier to modify/edit if there's no extra fluff :)
