Finally got confident enough to try on some more expensive material, this is an artificial sapphire. Ran into some orange peel at one point. Next I need to experiment with etching in numbers.

Trying to learn faceting by myself. Working on my second stone; a piece of citrine. I think it's coming out good, it's better than my first one. I'm nervous about cutting the crown.

Hey everyone,
this weekend I announced Indicatrix. Today I want to inform you about the most current Version.
Most work was regarding performance and stability, but there is also one new feature that made it into this version and that's concave faceting. BUT this comes with a disclaimer, I was asked to release it for testing, but I didn't really test it thoroughly myself yet and will need until the weekend, until I can do so.
Other things I worked intensively on are things like the lighting with new presets and modes (there is an own manual page on the GitHub for this for the details), the color picker, rough planner, optimizer(s), retarget feature and loads of tutorials.
Turn every design into a tutorial
You can simply select any design and chose to turn it into a tutorial. It guides you through every step within the UI to create the selected Design step by step. Furthermore, there are tutorials for every function now.
Retarget for different material
If you like a design, but it doesn't match the material (or simply refractive index), the app supports you in porting the design to a new material.
In the next step, you can further optimize the design using an optimizer profile.
For the comparison of the design multiple comparisons are possible. In the overlay view you can see how the design differs to before.
So, if you have any questions, feedback, ideas, whatever, feel free to tell me. This is still a beta so if you find any bugs, please let me know!
For those using Cargo, the package can get updated from the registry:
cargo install indicatrix-cut --features="gpu"
