Nice, but a higher max_trace_level would be really necessary.

*g*
are you sure? the diamond is a CSG and pretty slow. but a CSG matches best
the real thing (especially at the girdle).
BTW: it is a diamond in "ideal proportions" cut. maybe I'll implement the
emerald as well...

You've got bragging rights if you can get the color and interior correct.
How is CSG be more suited to this than a mesh? Do you have a web reference
for the shape of this cut? Because I am curious to see what you mean.

currently rendering. it takes it's time.....

What suits better if both ways result in the same thing?
At least CSG was much easier.
Hm. maybe I am wrong but look at the girdle: the bows caused by the round
shape beeing cut by plain facets. This is created very easily by simply
cutting a cylinder (which is in fact more realistic to the real creation
process). Modelling this with a mesh while considering different proportions
and cut-types is not that easy (but of course not impossible).
However, having enough from macros that parse a whole day I did this
quick-cut using a CSG instead of modelling as a mesh. Feel free to make a
mesh of it....

So there are round shapes on the diamond? If this is the case you are
definitely correct. CSG is not only easier, but also provides the true round
edges needed for super-close inspection and certain interiors.

Yes. The gridle. It is always round, mostly circular.

Of course, since an ideal diamond is totally clear you can't really see the
difference between the round shaped CSG and a less-round shaped mesh. Maybe
some strange effects due to interior but no one really can tell since there
are so many caustic effects....
However, it was soooo simple to model as a CSG, I simply couldn't resist :-)

You'll find several POV-diamond images and links
to web pages about diamond cuts if you traverse
the threads that this search will list:
