The material library of the transparent and semi-transparent gemstones.
The library was made with 3ds Max 2011 and V-Ray 2.40.
We provided physically correct values of Fresnel IOR and Dispersion/Abbe properties.
We examined hundreds of real gemstones studio photos and reproduced accurately the existing color variations of gems.
We made a lot of test renders to tune each gemstone material to real-life look.
The library features:
- 26 unique minerals with real-world color variations (32 gemstone materials in total)
- Physically accurate optical properties
- Thoroughly reproduced transparency and color tones of real minerals
- Unique and meaningful names of the materials
- Three deliver forms: one united library, 32 individual libraries, 32 individual scenes with ‘shaderball’
- Compliance with real world scale (system units – centimeters)
