Introduction to the course.
There are a few topics covered in this part in detail: how to create proper light for jewelry products, what is the easiest way to get great effects on metal and diamond materials, and so on.
I go through all scenes and show you how to create the same materials and lighting I used in every scene. After completing this part, you’ll be able to replicate all six of the scenes I created during the course.
Saving images from MXI files. I explain how I choose the final settings for the images and the last tweaks before images go to retouching.
Composing and retouching of the images in Photoshop. The final step before they can be considered images with high commercial value.
Are the 3D models provided with this course for my own practice?
Yes, you’ll be provided with models for your own practice. Note that due to usage rights license agreement we can’t distribute the same 3D models that we bought from Turbosquid.com, but we have 6 great ring models available free of charge to all course students.
Is there a way to ask the instructor questions? To show my own work and get feedback?
Yes, you can ask the instructor questions and get feedback on your own work. We have a support forum for this course where you can ask questions and get answers and feedback from your instructor.
