You are studying animation design now, and my cousin is studying this industry. I want to tell you that animation design and jewelry design are two different things, and there is not much connection between them. As far as I know, animation design depends on a huge team to operate. Just like an assembly line, you are just the producer of a program. Jewelry designers can be called the creators of products. From inspiration, market research, understanding of technology, hand-drawn drawings or professional software drawings. Basically, it was done by one person. It is conceivable how much practical experience they have to go through to succeed.
All right! Having said that, where there is an ideal, there is hope, and it may be easier to succeed in the direction you are interested in. If you want to develop jewelry design, from now on, you need to learn hand-drawing or professional jewelry design software JewelCAD, Rhino, Matrix 3D and so on. In terms of software, I suggest learning Rhino, which is much better than the other two in terms of function and prospect. JewelCAD is more suitable for draftsmen, and Matrix 3D is developed based on Rhino. Rhino's textbook on jewelry design is Rhino 3D, which is the first one in China. The author has been engaged in jewelry for more than ten years, and his explanation is very unique, which is very helpful for you to understand jewelry design.
Finally, I wish you all your wishes! Realize your dream as soon as possible!
