7. HDR photorealistic diamond and inclusions visualization

Table of Content

The Photorealistic mode allows to make HDR photorealistic visualization of allocated diamonds and inner inclusions.

Now all the standard lightings - Office, Disco, IdealScope, ASET and other are available in the HDR photorealistic mode. We have also added two new HDR-specific lightings, namely HDR Default and HDR Disco II, to emphasize the benefits of the HDR visualization.

To view a photorealistic image of an allocated diamond with inclusions inside:

  • Load photos used for constructing inclusions. They are needed for more realistic rendering
  • Press button Photoreal on Toolbar to switch on Photorealistic mode
  • Select a diamond in the tree of solutions
  • See a photorealistic diamond image in the right bottom corner

    Warning! The HDR photorealistic diamond and inclusions visualization requires Graphics hardware supporting specific features. Please test your GPU (Graphics hardware) with DiamCalc - Graphics Compatibility Evaluator utility. This utility will attempt to render a reference data set in order to check if your Graphics hardware is compatible with new OctoNus HDR rendering engine. Even if you get negative test result the non-HDR visualization will be available in the program. Most of existing Windows computers is compatible with non-HDR OctoNus rendering engine.

7.1 Types of inclusions visualization

Table of Content

There are four types of inclusions visualization available in the program:

Photorealistic view (diamond and inclusions) Inclusions view (increased contrast for enhanced inclusions visibility)
Inclusions only Inclusions - schematic view (with status of inclusion in allocation process)

To select type of inclusions visualization:

  • Press button in the top panel
  • Select type of inclusions visualization from the list

7.2 Inclusions texture

Table of Content

If photos used for inclusions construction are loaded into the project, inclusions texture will be created. Textures allow to make more realistic inclusions visualization.

Inclusions with texture
Inclusions without texture

7.3 New lighting

Table of Content

There are three new lightings: HDR Default, HDR Disco II and DarkField (special).

Warning! The HDR photorealistic diamond and inclusions visualization requires Graphics hardware supporting specific features. Please test your GPU (Graphics hardware) with DiamCalc - Graphics Compatibility Evaluator utility. This utility will attempt to render a reference data set in order to check if your Graphics hardware is compatible with new OctoNus HDR rendering engine. Even if you get negative test result the non-HDR visualization will be available in the program. Most of existing Windows computers is compatible with non-HDR OctoNus rendering engine.

To see new lighting:

  • Be sure you selected Photorealistic view type of inclusion visualization (lighting affects other visualization modes as well, but it might be harder to notice there)
  • Press button in the top panel
  • Select lighting from the list
  • See photorealistic visualization of a future diamond

HDR default + Inclusions HDR Disco II + Inclusions Dark Field (special)

Note. Use context menu to easy change Lighting and Diamond view. Right click mouse in Scene and select settings:

8. Autosave file option

Table of Content

New option allows to save oxg file automatically. When Autosave option is enabled a copy of working project is saved periodically in file ****_Autosave in the folder My Documents. In case of software unexpected error you will be able to recover your work.

To switch on / off Autosave option and make Autosave settings:

  • Open panel AutoSave options from menu Settings / Autosave options…
  • Check / uncheck section Enable Autosave

9. Auxiliary points in allocation

Table of Content

By default auxiliary points are not imported into the Helium Rough / Pacor Client and not available in allocation.

To import auxiliary points into Helium Rough / Pacor Client:

  • Check box Enable auxiliary points in allocation in the menu Inclusion in the Oxygen program
  • Save oxg file
  • Import oxg file into Helium Rough / Pacor Client
