Putting the zinc came on the outside is going to be a major annoyance. I've soldered the back side and now it is sturdy enough to be leaned into my window. Really cool to finally see it. I would like the sun to come out more

Working on this. In progress.

4ct smithsonian opposed bar cut bicolor tourmaline mined from Mt Etna Maine and some diamonds, idk.

One of the consequences of manually modeling a stone from scratch is that the object is unrecognizable to the program as a "gem object", disabling the auto-builders in Matrix, which forces me to manually model everything around it as a consequence. This has been an exercise in what I really know about the core software and parametric modeling without tricks or gimmicks.
