    Thanks Jim. Well, for me, no. I'm one of those designers that can 
visualise a design, and then go ahead and make what I 'see' in my head. By 
this, I mean that I very rarely draw a design, and then make it. Sad really, 
as I was (hopefully!) a good line/shade artist with pencil/charcoal, etc. 
when I was younger - I just don't do it now, (even for pleasure, where at 
one stage, that was all I did), but since I bought one of these damn 
comp's...  ;)  all I do now, is play with 3D. It's strange really, as I 
never envisaged owning a computer - ever. Now I have one, (my first one), 
that's sat beside me on the floor doing nothing, and a new monster black 
tower thingy humming away in front of me. So I own two. And, you know, it's 
really not 'me', but I love the challenge of a computer, and I think you 
know where I'm coming from with this.

   I digress. As for your original question Jim, making a 3D image just cant 
compare with making the 'real thing'. There're too many physical procedures 
to go through to complete a ring, (item), and then be satisfied with the 
result/s compared to the 3D image.
