Taking measurements
This would be a very simple build using the tools taught in previous chapters. So
this set of instructions will focus on using a different paradigm of designing. In this
build, the
Apply
button in the modifiers will not be used so that the object remains
modifiable until the end. This technique works well for simple shapes but can be a
problem when the geometry of the model becomes increasingly complex.
Before opening Blender, some measurements must be gathered. Careful
measurements need to be taken of the finger that the ring will be on and of
the SD card. A digital caliper is an excellent tool to take measurements with:
