Hi, very good to talk to a jewellery designer.
Your question : My task is to create a design concept / rendering which should be realistic enough
to be manufactured as presented in the concept.
As the pave technique has been around a while I am asking myself which method was used to
distribute the gems regularly in the pre-digital era - it is quite challenge !
Regarding the picture posted I would be interested to know more about the technique used as
it differs from the common prongs - do you have any idea ?
The current auto-pave tools within Rhino seem to be very powerful though my question is if
they just fill up the surface randomly or if it is possible to line the gems up in individual
pattern as well.
I am still uncertain which is the best way to solve the challenge within MOI - what would
be your approach ?
