Just me fooling around with my CAD program as I get better and learn to use it better since it's quite a bit different than the 3D modeling I learned in school. 12mm tall bottle I made with a Crystal glass texture.
Smoothed the neck and bottom connection on the outside, but left if angular inside to make it a little more interesting. Wanted a cork stopper, but unfortunately I don't have a cork texture so it got a rubber stopper.
Still kind of learning my rendering program and I think the version I have has very limited size options, so this is about as large as I can get I think.
But fun little project. Probably took 10 minutes to do, had to figure a few things out as I went and used some tools I hadn't really used before. The first bottle I did like this years ago in 3DS Max took quite a bite longer to do.
Yeah. It's nice to know the program can do that, but it always seems to refuse to put any fire into the Diamond texture, which is why I probably won't use that much and stick to colored stone textures. Maybe your husband has had more luck with it than me. Maybe I'm not getting the right angles or something, but they always render like boring glass. At least this glass is interesting since it's a crystal texture
Are you putting pilots or divets under the stones or chamfering under the larger stones? Not doing this will kill the color on the diamonds. It seems the computer interprets the intersection of the stone and the metal as like the crystal structure is integrated atomically. If the stones still look dark after you render them in diamond, this is the problem.

I've got seats cut. They don't go all the way through the other side, was too lazy to do that at the time and I've been busy designing a bunch of stuff that doesn't have stones lately. I'm rendering one of the pre-made things they have at the moment that has a seat cut all the way out. Don't feel like adding smaller stones to it. While the large stone doesn't appear glassy like they have been for me, there's only a few points of fire in it and that's boring (I hate diamonds... Overpriced, common garbage. I hate how people have fallen for the lie that diamonds are rare and valuable. There's nothing rare about something when 80% of every jewelry store's stock is diamond Moissonite has much more sparkle...)
The stones don't show as well if not piloted but a divet is better than nothing. The only thing rare about diamonds are the ones of the very highest qualities and the natural colored ones, but your average person is not going to be buying a D/IF of any size anyway. I prefer gem grade color to diamonds, gives more character to the piece and attracts the eye better for a stone of equal mm size.

I agree. Colored stones are much more interesting. Especially in like white gold and platinum. CZs in silver is one thing, I'll do that to make it affordable to my target audience for my current project and because there are people who will want that look. But diamonds and white gold/platinum, bleh. If you're going to spend that kind of money, may as well be able to see the stone instead of have it go all camouflage on you.
Now I would take a canary and put it in an 18 yellow cup with a platinum mounting and with F/VS melee' around it.That would really pop! A lot of what is in jewelry stores is drek stones, canardly and frozen spit diamonds, when you see a well cut, high grade diamond, it does have a special air to it that even a gem grade color can't touch.
