Developing ideas for the ring

Creating the ring - Idea 1

To create the ring I used 'cinema 4D', I used cinema 4D because it is a good programme for making 3D objects and 3D text designs, to start with the ring I imported a tube from the 'Mo-Graph' tool section, then I changed the tubes rotation so I could get the best angle.

Then I went to the object properties tab and I changed the Inner radius to try and make the tube inner bit smaller so it looks like a ring, then I changed the cap segments to '1' so it created a more realistic for the ring.

Then I tried creating a colour material for the ring, To do this I used the 'Luminance' to give the ring a shiny colour, then I added a 'reflection' so it looked like a reflective gold.


Then I added the colour to the tube layer by dragging the colour to the tube. This is the ring with the colour un-rendered.

Then I rendered the image so the colour 'Luminance' would shine through, Then I imported the file to 'Photoshop' I will then add textures to the ring, to get these textures I will take pictures of gold things, and then clipping mask it to the ring and use the 'multiply' on blending options.
