It is basically an advanced plug-in for Rhinoceros 3D.

It has its own GUI, very similar to MatrixGold, being from the same manufacturer, but it can also be used with the classic Rhino interface.

Unlike MatrixGold, it is much lighter and has some better features.

Definitely less comprehensive referring to jewelry, it is preferred for the speed and convenience of its controls.

It handles precious gems well, with a positioning function even on meshes (e.g. generated with ZBrush).

It has a fast Rendering engine suitable for basic needs such as presentation.

The software is no longer updated as it has been replaced by MatrixGold, but in a fast-paced work flow it is certainly preferable to use it.

what you will learn in L3D ART course

The course is suitable only for those who have already taken the Rhinoceros 3D course, as the program is a Rhinoceros plug-in.

I show all the modern goldsmithing techniques, the different types of stones and the different systems for attaching them to metal, the different types of metals and their characteristics.

If you want to practice as a Jewelry Designer, this is one of the fundamental courses.

No knowledge of the goldsmith industry is necessary, we only address the CAD section and in a very broad way, and some useful background information will be shared during the course.
