Now, under the Modelling tab with the Extract surface tool we can remove the top Surface of the ring as the above image. In this tool the options can be defined under the command line.

4

Revolve Rail

Now, under the Modelling tab with the Revolve Rail tool to create a Surface in the top of the ring, based on the profile curve created in the previous step.

5

Join Then, with the Join tool from the Drawing tab to unite all the surfaces in a single closed object.

7

Smart Curve

Then, with the Smart curve tool from the Drawing tab to define a curve in the top view. In this case half of a leaf shape as the above image.

9

Extrude

Now, select the curve defined in the previous step and with the Extrude tool from the Modeling tab to define a solid as the above image. In this case the thickness is 1mm in the both di rections. It’s important to activate the solid option from the command line.


6

Hollow Ring

Now, under the Jewellery Tab with the Hollow Ring tool to remove the inside part from the ring, in this case with 1mm thickness as the above image.

8

Smart Curve / Auto Connect

Now, still under the Drawing tab with the Smart curve tool in the top view to create the other half of the leaf shape, as the above image. Then, with the Auto Connect tool to unite the two curves as a single one.

10

Splop

Then, we can place some copies of the leaf shape object created before around the ring surface, to do it, under the Transform tab with the Splop tool, as the above image.

11

Boolean Difference

Then, under the Modelling tab with the Boolean Difference tool to remove the parts created before from the ring.

13

Dynamic Prong

Then, with the Dynamic Prong tool under the Jewellery tab to apply the prongs to set the gems created before.

15

Cutter Studio

Now, with the Cutter Studio tool from the Jewellery tab to place the cutters on all the gems created before.


12

Gem Studio

Now, under the Gems Tab with the Gems Studio tool to apply several gems along the ring, as the above image. In this case it’s important to activate the Orient on Surface option.

14

Pave Automatic

Now, under the Gems tab with the Pave Automatic tool to place gems and the prongs in the ring’s top Surface, as the above i mage.

16

Boolean Difference

Then, under the Modelling tab with the Boolean Difference tool to remove the cutters from the ring as the above image.

17

Clayoo - Ellipsoid

Now, we can turn on Clayoo and with the Ellipsoid tool from the Clayoo tab to create a ellipsoid as the above image. All the tool parameters can be defined in the side panel.

19

Clayoo - Move Gumball

Then, we should sellect some edges of the ellipsoid and with the Clayoo Move gumball to start defining the bird’s shape, as the above image.

21

Clayoo - Extrude

Now, under the Clayoo tab with the Extrude tool again but this time define the bird’s beak. Just need to select the face to extrude and in this case it’s important to activate the tapered option in the side panel as the above image.


18

Clayoo - Rotate Gumball

Now, we should sellect the ellipsoid created before and with the Clayoo rotation gumball activated to adjust the position as the above image.

20

Clayoo - Extrude

Now, under the Clayoo tab with the Extrude tool to start defining the bird’s head, as the above image. All the parameters from the tool can be defined in the side panel.

22

Clayoo - Extrude

Then, under the Clayoo tab with the Extrude tool again but this time define the bird’s tail. Just need to select the faces to extrude and i n this case it’s important to activate the tapered option in the side panel as well.

23


24

Then, still under the Clayoo tab with the Move gumball activated we can select the faces to adjust the position, as the above image.

25

Clayoo - Extrude

Now, with the Scale gumball from Clayoo to adjust the bird’s shape, as the above image.

26


Now, again with Move gumball from Clayoo to adjust the final details of the wings, as the above image.


Clayoo - Move Gumball Now, with the Move gumball activated to adjust the bird’s wings as the above image.

Then, under the Clayoo tab with the Extrude tool to define the bird’s wings. Just need to select the faces to extrude and define the distance in the side panel, as the above image.

27

Clayoo - Scale Gumball

28

Clayoo - Scale Gumball Then, with the Scale gumball activated to adjust the bird’s tail, as the above image.

29

Clayoo - Scale Gumball Finally, we can select the whole bird and with the scale gumball to adjust the size of the bird as inten-

ded.

31

Extract Surface

Then, with the Extract Surface tool under the Modelling tab to extract the surfaces we don’t want to apply gems, as the above image.

33

Cutter Studio

Now, we can define the cutters to apply on the gems created before. To do it, select the gems and use the Cutter Studio tool from the Jewellery tab and define all the parameters in the side panel.


30

Clayoo To Nurbs

Now, still under the Clayoo Tab with the Clayoo To Nurbs tool to create the surfaces from the Clayoo object, then we can hide the original clayoo bird and turn off clayoo.

32

Pave Automatic

Now, under the Gems tab with the Pave Automatic tool to apply the gems and prongs in the the bird, as the above image. After do it we can use the join tool to unite all the bird surfaces again.

34

Boolean Difference Then, under the Modelling tab with the Boolean Difference tool to remove the cutters from the bird.
