Wedding ring About Truespace Archives These pages are a copy of the official truespace forums prior to their removal somewhere around 2011. They are retained here for archive purposes only. Wedding ring // Work in Progress 1  |   Order by default Post by Tugar // Jul 8, 2007, 4:05pm Tugar Total Posts: 68 Here is a rendering of my wedding ring. The metal still isn't right and I've tried most of the ones in TS6. Below is a pic of the real thing. At least as nice as I can take with my current camera.

The ring in the picture is much more round and smooth, so if you're going for realism, maybe try to smooth it out a bit... Try putting a picture in the background for the reflectance; I find it difficult to work with objects that are reflective when I have a gray background... Give it something to reflect, and hopefully it'll be easier to get the metal color you're looking for! Hope this helps! -TrueSpaced:banana: P.S.: Nice wedding ring!

All were diamond material before the cuts just in case. Post by trueSpaced // Jul 8, 2007, 4:59pm trueSpaced Total Posts: 544 Cool, cool... I've never made any jewelry; sounds like a neat project to try... -TrueSpaced:banana: Post by Jack Edwards // Jul 8, 2007, 5:08pm Jack Edwards Total Posts: 4062 The thing with realistic metal is that it needs an envirionment to reflect. Metal really doesn't have color by itself. ;) Also if you look at your ring in the photo you'll notice that it doesn't have sharp edges. To capture the highlights on the edges of the metal you need to round them out a bit. -Jack.
