Three Stone Trellis Ring

Learn to create a Three Stone Trellis Ring. 

This is a valuable and concise lesson that will further develop your SubD skillset. Learn to use Clayoo and dynamic commands together to create the precise look you are after. While you could create this project 100% parametrically. Sometimes it is faster to work in a linear fashion to get the job done.

The more you can learn to work in SubD the more you can break free of the mechanical structures of CAD. You will be able to create more organic designs and push and pull points to the precise locations you want. This is 3D modeling that is closer to an artistic experience.
