    Ok, here's my Wings tutorial: Clickety-Click (and now the images are linked correctly too)

    Compaired to the original tutorial, in my tutorial I have another way of rotating the pieces: you only have to remember the 45' angle, and how to divide and multiply it by 2

    Paul,

    brilliant idea and execution!

    With Rhino the construction of a moebius ring is kind of simple - see below.

    We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.

    Hey good work Jens Always nice to see some different apps and methods applied

    Now then, how about going all the way you guys,rolling up those sleeves and taking a stab at modeling this shape through to a finished ring as Paul has done here... textured and rendered to look like it would be an actual piece of jewlery

    anybody game?

    THAT question... Haha, Ed, you kill me


    I seriously doubt that there are as many good tutorials online for creating Mobius Rings as there are to create say the human head...

    and... I really doubt that there are many sites online which could boast tutorials on how to create this wonderful piece via utilizing such a variety of apps to do so... this thread has quickly become a fantastic resource for any and all...


    Mike, right on... these rings are unique and wonderful... any tips on how to create this manly looking gold finish? [thumbs up ]

    Keep em coming guys...

    Gidgit, material is Zbrush noise bump. A fairly basic shader with noise and color bump. I used a single light with a high intensity but with a soft shadow. Lighting has a lot to do with how things look.
