sure would have been nice if you uploaded links for these software programs like Firestorm CAD, you may also want to include the sticker shock prices like the $6000.00 cost for MatrixGold
A very nicely presented video. If I may, I'd like to add a few thoughts from a professional jewellery CAD trainer who teaches most of these: 1.) I noticed how careful you were to only say positive things about each piece of software, sometimes going to almost comical lengths to frame something in a positive way. A couple of these developers have very big and fragile egos, so I suppose that was wise. ;-) 2.) About half the programs you mentioned are not jewellery-specific, and Sketchup and Zbrush are not even particularly designed for 3D printing. You can use them for 3D printing models of course, but you then have to compensate for what the software cannot do with precision measurement. 3.) You didn't mention 3Design or Carveco (formerly ArtCAM Jewelsmith). Kind of big omissions.
I appreciate your comment. I've been tring to narrow down my choices to something that is proven to work best for jewelry design. Which one of all would you recommend?
Blender is free, but from what I've seen the interface can be frustrating for new users. I'd recommend going for the Rhino trial version, and upgrade to a student version. It's the best of the cheap software, and the cheapest of the best, at least as far as new users who aren't doing that much fine jewellery...
@@CADJewellerySkills bro ty for rply... But basic of Matrix 9 I learnt but for face and solid work I need a software... I confusion abt blender n zbrush... Wch I can choose?? Or any other can u suggest??
Hah! I know right? Having said that, I keep meeting people crazy enough to try to make it work. Most of them tend to be home 3D printing enthusiasts who cannot be asked to buy a proper 3D CAD program, and through sheer force of will have developed good processes for it, and I suppose that user base is what makes a software worth learning as much as the tools themselves...
2D apps are easy to come by on tablets. But for 3D, it's been harder to get it right because the touch screen interface and machine specs are generally poorly suited for 3D CAD. But I reckon it's only a matter of time.
3Design (not mentioned in the video but another big jewellery 3D program), Rhino, Blender, and Fusion 360 all run just fine on a Mac, provided your computer specs are good enough.
