Work in progress. These images are generated with our path tracer, which is not released yet and is still being worked on. The path tracer is a physics-based renderer that uses Monte Carlo sampling to approximate the full light-transport solution: many random rays per pixel, many bounces, and progressive accumulation until the image converges. The stones are shown in a simple light box with even top lighting and optional spot light. No head shadows or special effects, just aiming for a realistic image.
Image quality varies. The renderer is under active development, so older images may look less good than newer ones, e.g. due to simple caustics.
