3D Modeling tool for diamonds and rings on a website.
I wrote a dynamic diamond and ring modeling tool that's free to use,
and works in a web page. It lets you model most diamonds in 3D, loose or with simple tiffany style rings. You can compare 2 stones or rings at a time. Being 3D you can view, zoom, or pan from any angle. It lets you pick the carat or mm sizes of the stone, as well as the ring size, # of prongs, and stone height. It's kind of neat because you can make all these changes on the fly. Meaning you can change the model with a slider bar. It's like a piece of rubber. It's at http://www.RingHunt.com Let me know what you think of this software. Is this useful to you? Thank you for testing it, and any input you can give me. I will be adding basket and bezel heads. It already does 3 stones rings, but I turned it off. A 3 stone ring with tiffany heads for all 3 stones would look pretty dorky! Emerald cuts with 2 rings is messed up. I forgot to fix that. I might add an Asscher to the list. I also will be upgrading the weight estimating soon so it takes the stones depth in account in the estimate. What other ring models would you want? In the summer 2005 I will providing a CAD output to models like this though matching Rhino Plug-ins. Rhino is a CAD tool, you can see more at www.rhino3d.com Best Regards, Paul Krush Paul *AT* RingHunt.com |

And the baguette shows up without a shank. It's kind of neat because you can make all these changes on the fly. Meaning you can change the model with a slider bar. It's like a piece of rubber.

However, I would love to have the models of those stones. It would be great if you could send them to me. Abrasha http://www.abrasha.com |

Should I post more about online consumer jewelry modeling in this
group in the future? Or is this wrong place to do so? These are mostly just tests. I am working on CAD output, and nicer looking models. It's very very hard to do this 3D work in a web page, and have the result display with no user permission. The site is geared directly for consumers. Buying a diamond on the Internet is clearly the best way for a consumer, and this is just another tool to help them. I've sold over three million dollars in diamonds over the internet. It's still quite a pain for a person to buy online, but this is slowly changing. To buy a ring is even harder, it's impossible for large fancy stones to do it automatically. I'm scratching an itch I have by writing this. It will be cluncky, and people will have concerns. They will be addressed. To a group of jewelers a person working hard to provide a way for consumers to automatically model rings over the internet could be very threatening, or just a good joke. But, as in the past, there is always a way to provide something unique manually. A site on the internet could never make a person feel special! The best will adapt, survive, and thrive in this environment. Thanks again for testing it, Paul Krush www.RingHunt.com |
