Checkerboards 02 — Custom Cut Gemstones and Advanced V-Ray Materials Bringing Authenticity to Your Digital Creations with Real-World Cuts & Real World Materials 10 Sophisticated Custom Cut Virtual Gemstones — Expertly designed real world cuts tailored for realistic material reflective index ranges. These authentic gems (crafted by a gem cutter with a passion for 3D design) are perfect for designers of jewelry or digital worlds seeking to incorporate authentic colored gemstones into their creations High-Definition Geometry in Supplied Rhino Files (Compatible with Rhino versions 5 & 6) Optimized Polygon Mesh Geometry in OBJ files — Derived from original Rhino NURBS models, these mesh geometries use the least number of polygons required to replicate intricate facet shapes of each gemstone. 50+ Advanced V-Ray Next Gemstone Materials — Research-driven optical properties are integrated into materials for various quartz types (amethyst, citrine, rose de France, smokey quartz, praisolite, rock crystal, rose quartz), beryl types (aquamarine, emerald, morganite, green beryl, heliodore), topaz varieties (imperial pink, imperial orange, imperial red, imperial yellow, london blue, sky blue, swiss blue ), tourmaline varieties (indicolite, rubelite, green, paraiba), garnet types (pyrope, almandite, spessartite, demantoid), cubic zirconia; expect regular updates as materials are refined and new ones are added Complete Collection Includes Cut/Material Reference Chart — Essential chart for easy identification of suitable materials per gemstone cut. Guidelines: Resizing Custom Cut Virtual Gems: Always utilize uniform scale to maintain the intricate optical performance of each custom cut virtual gem — misalignment can lead to lost authenticity. Color and Optical Performance Tips: Material Color Primarily Derived from Refraction Fog: If needed, adjust fog color or multiplier settings in the refraction section for precise results. Consult the V-Ray Next manual for detailed adjustments. Size Matters: A single material will appear lighter on smaller gems and darker on larger ones due to differing light transmission paths. If your custom gem appears too dark, switch to a lighter colored version of the same material. Proper Scaling Tips: In general, small-faceted gemstones are cut in smaller sizes while large-faceted ones require larger stones. Real-world facet minimums range from 1 mm or smaller — any smaller can be challenging by hand. To ensure realistic representation, adhere to correct size ratios for accurate gemstone visual authenticity
