I'd like to take a moment just to revisit this thread once again. Since the website redesign had disabled or removed some of the embedded video links in threads like this one, I thought I'd provide a direct link to this video tutorial again. You can find the video here:

Model A Voronoi Style Bracelet In Blender 2.74

Moreover, the real reason I wanted to revisit this thread is to invite some of you to check out this inspirational video presentation by talented designer, Bernd Haier, who used this tutorial to create the base model for his exquisite jewelry showcase renderings, using the Nvidia Iray engine in 3dsmax. I know this isn't a Blender-specific creation, but I'm very honored that he shared his renders, and since it is a tutorial which I've translated to Blender, I thought it could serve perhaps as inspiration to Blender enthusiasts who might follow the tutorial.

Jewelry Design Part 1, By Bernd Haier

Enjoy!

Wow. Bernd's renders of the model are incredible. I thought they were photos he did of a 3d print or something at first. Yes, it's very inspirational, Lux. Makes me wanna try some renders like that in Cycles, and see how real I can get them.

Is the Iray engine in 3dsmax the same one that is now in Daz Studio? I know they are both Nvidia Iray, but are they actually the same tech?
