Haven't i searched it up and it is mainly used for vector graphics. and very few things about jewellery came up when i searched. Blender had tons of tutorials. What my dad wants is something to design silver and gold jewellery.
if 'expensive' is ur problem, why not raise the black flag and check divisionsbyzero: someone could guide u to a useful tracker or something to download a cracked version, if it exists, say for Rhino3D. there are so many alternative when doing a search:
I will try it ig. but i don't think every feature would work in pirated software on linux. if it was windows it would be a whole different story lol
yea i agree, but ur need is apparently met only by proprietery software, so those software companies wouldn't be much compelled to create a linux version for ur favourite software; kinda cornered urself by the linux choice; afterall u need to design jewelery for living: learning a bit of windows if u found a cracked version should be kinda worth it, but i dont know better..hope someone offers some useful help
Check out fusion 360. There is a free version for personal use, you have to search for it on their website since they hide it.
I'd say maybe keep at Blender, the community is huge and the tutorials endless. It's only complicated until you learn how it works!
There's also CAD software, like FreeCAD, LibreCAD, etc, which, unfortunately I have no experience of so I can't tell you if they're easier or harder to learn and use compared to Blender.
The main barrier here is the basic computer knowledge. Jewelry design is almost certainly going to have to be solved by a CAD solution. And CAD is a complicated type of design work to do on computers.
