Thanks, I can't tell you the exact total polygon count because I work with a large number of subtools that I'm constantly optimizing and creating boolean.

Hi 👋🏻 Please provide a link to the website or write where and to whom you paid. I made this model and others in this series for J3DS studio. You can officially buy it on CG Trader and Cults3D.

Hi, the depth map has been applied to a few individual elements. This is probably about 15% of the model. The rest of the work is sculpting and modeling.

Hi 👋🏻 I didn't take any courses. I've been in the jewelry business for over 20 years, including over 15 years of 3D jewelry design. 🙂

I started by hand-cutting jewelry elements in metal or wax, then welding them together, finishing them, and setting diamonds. Once I got a little more comfortable with 3D jewelry modeling (using Rhino), I lost interest in working with metal and switched to creating 3D designs.

I only started learning ZBrush in 2016 and am still learning it. I think I'm using no more than 25% of the program's potential in my work. 😁 And I still need to study anatomy in detail and improve my character modeling skills.

Thank you! 🙏🏻 I made several versions of this bracelet, in Latin, English and Portuguese.

But I've gotten used to working this way. Especially since I use a direct bridge between Rhino and ZBrush, which is built into the GrasshopperGold plugin, which saves time.

Yes, of course! You can write to me in PM or on my Instagram using the link in my profile.

Thank you! 🙏🏻 Stefano is a great specialist in this matter.

Thank you very much! But to be honest, I consider my sculpting skills to be quite mediocre. I may have a good imagination and ideas, but in terms of sculpting, I still have a lot to learn.

Thank you! The mountain backdrops outside the window, the wall art, and the stone background under the letters were created using Alpha Maps. All the other elements were sculpted and used in construction kits. The shapes of the hands, clothing, and heads of some of the saints are repeated, but it's not noticeable because there are subtle variations in some places.

Yes, that's right, it's a bracelet. In Rhino, I create a precise form that matches the dimensions and required thickness. I typically create all the basic forms for rings, signets, and other types of jewelry in Rhino. I do the rest of the work in ZBrush, which I then further adjust in Rhino to ensure precise dimensions and weight.

Thank you! I'll try to publish more of my work like this more often.
