Student's reviews:

  • Diamond - Pyramid Shape

    DD200 is better than DD100 because the concepts/designs are more relevant to commercial-grade jewellery. I will set up a team/business segment that provides such a service."

  • Diamond - Pyramid Shape

    This unit teaches more advanced modelling skills and increases the ability to custom build designs, as well as touches on how we can send the file for further production.

    Enjoy the session conducted by Alex. He is very concrete in his demonstration and makes effort to help students understand the technicality. He is able to use layman's term to help us to understand."
