GemCalc Description |
At
the top of the potentialities, which are provided
to the users by DiamCalc
(see detailed
description for more information), |
|
THE GEMCALC PROVIDES EVEN MORE POWER TO… |
 |
Consider
different types of gemstones (with different
refractive index (RI) and dispersion)
GemCalc allows to work not just with
diamonds (as DiamCalc did) but also perform
the calculations and get photo-realistic
images of the different gemstones, like
sapphire, ruby, emerald, tanzanite, garnet,
etc. The user has the opportunity to change
manually gem material characters according
to external information available about
a certain stone. The gem material characters
can be loaded from the collected files
as well. |
 |
Model
double refractive and dichroism (not implemented
yet). The specific features, like
double refractive and dichroism, of non-isotropic
gems (moissanite, zircon, tanzanite, sapphire,
ruby, emerald, etc.) are considered by
GemCalc in ray-tracing calculations and
in photo-realistic image of a gem automatically
at the relevant optical axis. |
 |
Bring
in different hues, tones and saturation
(not implemented yet).This option
provides the user with a choice of different
hues, tones and saturation of the selected
stone. They can be either picked up from
the list of the prevailing gem colors,
provided by GemCalc, or specified by absorption
spectrum on the basis of the external
information available (for example, the
spectrometer data). |
 |
Review
lighting conditions. Color change
effect like demonstrated by Alexandrite
can be modeled by GemCalc. The user has
the opportunity to review the gem appearance
choosing the light sources with different
spectrums, like sunlight, daylight, daylight
lamp or incandescent lamp light. These
light sources are usually considered as
"white" light sources, however, each of
them gives a certain hue to the stone
color. |
 |
Take
into account a color adaptation of a human
eye. GemCalc allows seeing the appearance
of the gems, which are lighted with the
source that is different to what a human
eye is adapted to. For example, how the
client will see the color gems at the
jewelry shop window if the gems are lighted
with quartz-halogen bulb and the client's
eyes are adapted to the sunlight? Just
challenge GemCalc to get the answer! |
 |
Pick
up new fancy cuts and create new ones.
External libraries for fancy cuts can
be used for downloading into GemCalc.
For example, we would refer to the GemCad
cut list. If you want to load fancy cuts
from other sources please contact our
service for assistance. There is also
an option to develop a new cut within
a GemCad software and import the cut into
the GemCalc program. Then GemCalc gives
you the possibility to examine the overall
appearance of your creature and perform
the "fine tuning" of the cut to get the
best appearance. |
 |
Dramatically
reduce your time for calculations and
reference search. Apart from the breakthrough
possibilities provided to you by GemCalc
and described above, it also supplies
you with a user-friendly comprehensive
reference database of gem materials properties
(specific gravity, RI, absorption, etc.)
and cut parameters worth half a dozen
of dusty folios, which strive to shut
immediately when you just turn away. |
