In this release you have an opportunity to analyze the influence of flat cracks on visual appearance of diamond during rough planning. The program automatically reconstructs the half-transparent and reflection texture of each flat crack and uses it for visualization. So from this moment all flat cracks are rendered with right texture (before this HIG release all flat cracks were rendered as simple 3D inclusion without any transparency or reflections).
To use this opportunity you have to:
...
As you can see in this sample, the texture of rendered crack is half-transparent. On the right picture you can see some reflected light on the right side of the bigger crack.
The main purpose of this feature is to increase the price of solution, selecting bigger diamonds with hardly visible cracks inside them instead of small diamonds without any crack. Analyzing the photorealistic rendering of diamond with a crack will help to decide if this crack will be visible in resulting diamond or not.
