Photorealistic ring
This was the second project I undertook when I started learning blender, this was a very ambitious project for me and was created by following a tutorial on YouTube. This project taught me many of the skills required for 3D modelling from basic vertices manipulation to creating complex photorealistic textures.

Disclaimer- this model was created with the assistance of a tutorial. Thus, it may bear resemblance to other models but it was entirely created by myself.
