Diamond Collection and Materials preview image 1

Description:

This file contains a scene for a collection of diamond objects in a case. Most of these are scaled brilliant round diamonds and others are shaped to be hearts, stars or strips. These diamonds have materials attached that fake the dispersion of diamond, so that colours separate as they pass through. This is done with material nodes in cycles. The file contains a few materials that accomplish this at varying levels of accuracy and rendering speed, with a complete description of each in a summary.

Another video demonstration of what can be achieved with these materials can be seen by going to

Thank you very much, BroadStu! It's very, very awesome. I'll definitely credit you whenever I use your diamond technique. How many samples do you use, by the way?

Hey, I’ve been saving up for a high-end drone, but every week it seemed like my budget kept shrinking. After a few unlucky sessions, I decided to take a bigger chance and tried https://ignition-casinoau.com/ ignition casino. The bonuses made specifically for players from Australia really caught my attention, and I gave the Mega Wheel game a spin. Finally hitting a decent win lifted my spirits and brought me closer to my goal. It’s now my favorite way to relax and enjoy some extra excitement.

Olá, recentemente estava procurando algo divertido para passar o tempo e um amigo de Portugal me recomendou spinogambino. Comecei a jogar alguns slots e, após algumas derrotas, consegui uma grande vitória que realmente me animou. A plataforma é muito intuitiva, e os bônus especiais para jogadores de Portugal tornam a experiência ainda mais envolvente. Agora uso frequentemente para relaxar e tentar a sorte.
