A question on Jewelry

I'm a newbie Jewler, and was just wondering if anyone would like to share tips or tricks on doing necklaces - I've been reading about physics and that you shouldn't use physics to make the links - Just having a hard time getting the links positioned right in chain necklaces. Is this just a practice thing mainly, or are there techniques that I haven't discovered?


Thanks!

Its not about jewelry specifically,but its about tiny prims and the proccess' used in creating them.

Thank you Lord Wishbringer, most helpful!

i make jewlery also and doing the chains r a pain in the rear and make u go cros eyed fast loll only thing i can say is trial and error

This is what you need:

Tiny prims (you can get that in the link above)
Patience (you will need a LOT of that)
Practice
Oh a good optical mouse or graphics pad really helps too

Its not easy doing prim necklaces, it is a lot of tedious work. My 112 prim necklace for women took me hours of shift-dragging and positioning, then tweaking. In the end though nothing beats the look of a nice prim link necklace.

hehe...my 250 prim necklace took around 3 minutes.

you can always create the product at a larger scale, then shrink it down after.

trying to make the product in a tiny size is long winded. and very fustrating.
