Modeling took about 20 minutes, rendered in cycles at 500 samples for about 1.5 hours
Hmm, the ring doesn’t really look like gold right now(I think it’s supposed to be gold?)
Come to think of it, you’re right, I think it should probably be a darker color.
It would take me way longer,cause I don’t have the hang of “modeling” yet. Get lost on the keyboard. I think the gold looks good too, just needs less greeen & more red on my monitor
You didn’t get your money’s worth. The “gold” has absolutely no surface. Instead, it seems to glow perverely. The diamond, likewise, has zero specularity, and the face of the thing is a gray stop-sign.
The separation of the ring from the table, on the other hand, is quite nice. A tack-sharp shadow ring, with a separation between that shadow-ring and the Subject, works nicely.
