Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

the best answer has already been said. Use the ring you have and then select all of the outer faces that are flat. Then project a cylindrical map onto those faces and bring in a greyscale image of the letters in photoshop using white for the raised bits and black for the non raised bits, use this image as a displacement map for the ring. Then use a gold shader for the ring itself. It's relatively simple.

Okey..here it is...just a quick scene of about 10 minutes, so don't judge the result...should just show you how something like that project can be mapped.

Have fun with the scene..

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
