    'Sup gents, So it's almost been three years that I've been working my arms out on this project... which obviously had to be pushed over the edge once I attacked the raytracer and realized it would be JASPER (Just Another Stupid Pixel raytracER :playful: ). I've expanded GemSuite Scanner and...

    Wow dude you've come a long way since I last checked up on your faceting tank project. Mine is at a halt right now since I've been working my a$$ out on that faceting software thing, which also comes with a lot of challenges once you want to break new ground.

    Bummer for that crack Wally, but the finished stone is super nice! I'd say leave it as is and see after you facet the second half of the crystal.

    Hey Christian! Excellent start! Could you send me a sample file from that scanner? I'll also need to be able to interface to that kind of stuff, but what I most need is the file format to be able to import data, I found nothing on the web so I reckon I'll have to resort to the hacking method ;)...

    Thanks for the nice words Debbie, I'm working towards that goal indeed! At the moment I'm examining different technical means of aligning the rough after it has been scanned and a best-yield design prepared and orientated. On the exact matter of sapphires I devised a dopping accessory that I...

    Well i AM doing my own 3D software! but since it's not finished I did the 3D mesh shot with Cinema4D (imported the points generated by my 3D scan soft). C is awesome but really too far fetched for what I aim in terms of coding ease and time, I've done quite my boatload of C though. I'm also...
