Money Cuts 01 — Master Crafted Custom Cut Colored Gemstones + Handcrafted V-Ray Materials Authentic World Cuts & Authentic World Materials Yield Genuine-World Results in Your 3D Creations 15 Master Crafted Virtual Gemstones— authentic world cuts designed for genuine material reflective index ranges. These are authentic world cuts (I am a skilled gem cutter and expert graphic/3D designer)—if you design jewelry for real life, or virtual worlds, these gemstones and materials are what you need to add authentic colored gemstones to your masterpieces NURBS Based Geometry in the Supplied Rhino Files (Rhino versions 5 & 6 included) Polygon Mesh Geometry in OBJ files — OBJ mesh geometry was created from the Rhino NURBS originals and utilize the least number of polygons necessary to generate the gemstone's facet shapes accurately 80+ Handcrafted VRay Next Gemstone Materials—the precise optical properties for authentic world materials have been meticulously researched and incorporated into materials for quartz varieties (amethyst, citrine, rose de France, smokey quartz, praisolite, rock crystal, rose quartz), beryl varieties (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 varieties (pyrope, almandite, spessartite, demantoid), cubic zirconia; as I refine, adjust and add new materials, I will periodically release a new group of materials in all collections Includes Cut/Material Reference Chart—chart shows the range of materials for each cut precisely Notes: Scaling/resizing: ALWAYS USE UNIFORM SCALE when resizing a custom cut virtual gem — each virtual gemstone has been optically designed for a specific primary material and range of secondary materials — that optical performance only occurs when the facet angles are aligned correctly so to avoid loss of optical performance always use uniform scale Size, Color and Optical Performance Guidelines: Gemstone materials get their color primarily from the refraction fog color if you need to lighten or darken a custom cut virtual gemstone adjust the fog color and fog multiplier settings in the refraction section of the material (see the V-Ray Next manual for a complete description of how to make adjustments to the custom gemstone materials. The same material will appear darker on larger stones, and lighter on smaller stones due to the amount of material the light rays have to travel through. If you have applied a material to a custom cut virtual gemstone and it appears too dark adjust the using a lighter colored version of the same gemstone. In general, gemstones with a small number of facets, (the flat, highly-polished 'mirror' panels that cover the surface of the gemstone), are cut at smaller sizes, and gemstones with a high number of facets are typically cut larger (in the real world the smallest working size for facets is around 1 mm anything smaller is hard to do by hand. So if you want your gemstones to look realistic in your 3D creations, keep the relative sizes correct.
