2021 Collab: Week 29 “Jewelry” - CLOSED

[NP5]

Ah interesting. Birmingham Assay Office Info about hallmarks.

You will see there what you are missing from the set and one error.
It is as you say a great system and medieval in origin. Preventing debasement of the materials. Anyone can stamp a number on but the proper hallmarks are put on only after ‘assaying’ checking the metal is the standard said. It is a thorough nuisance and a cost but invaluable really.

My London set with the millennium commemorative add on. (minus maker’s mark)

Ah right it is all normal/bump faked. Effective though looks more like the modern option for laser etched versions.

[Digitz]

Oh I know I excluded some marks like maker and date stamps, but I don’t think I made a mistake. The 925 for silver quality, lion and anchor for the Birmingham assay. I know the lion is sometimes considered the mark of sterling silver, but there are a few other meanings for the lion passant stamp too.
Maybe I am missing the mistake. lol

[NP5]

Look at the anchor in that link.

[Digitz]

I see now and that’s an easy fix for sure. I’ll fix that soon and re-upload on my original post.
EDIT: Original image is updated.

If you blur the mask a bit you get softer transition of the bump/normal node.

Brooch. Gold and niello.

This looks like a cutscene from old Silent Hill or Resident Evil games
Great work !

[Alex_Rusu]

It did need some shinnyness, can’t belive I almost missed the deadline!
The box is just a cube with a cut and a solidify modifier beveled at the edges and the texture I used was a simple noise texture and added it into a displacement map. Easy peesy. I love how the sponge looks

Good luck everyone, really great entries this week

[FedPete]

Congratulations @Digitz for a nice jewelry item.

• NP5 - Maybe the object needs to be rotated a bit into the ground. And adding some grains of dirt.
• Yigit_Pala - Work on the background and try to add some construct to lay the crown on. Is it a museum piece, or something on a night stand.
• Enodes - The idea is great, but your problem was, tiny jewelry in a big window. The scale doesn’t match. Better was to use a counter desk.
• Alex_Rusu - great work, but I miss the ground floor, giving some shadows and reflection (maybe bigger diamond and some post lens flare projections).
• FedPete - Using an old project doesn’t work.

Happy rendering and finish your book on time.

FedPete - Using old an project doesn’t work.
