This is an online ZBrush jewellery design course taught live by R3 Jewel Academy — an online-first jewellery design institute.

Designed by industry experts, the course helps you master intricate organic sculpting, temple jewellery motifs, antique idols, and high-detail filigree models.

Whether converting hand sketches to castable 3D models or sculpting figurative idols with precise casting weights, you will learn the exact techniques used by master CAD sculptors across the global jewellery trade. No prior 3D experience is required—we start from the ZBrush interface and progress step-by-step to production-ready models.
