A set of gem cursors that I have made using Blender and RealWorld Cursor Editor. They are Glassy and reflective in appearance. I spent a great deal of effort on them, and came to know about that wonderful problem with 3D software called gimbal lock. Fortunately, I learned that setting my rotation mode to use quaternions solves that issue very rapidly.

Your choice of four colors. You all are going to be saying things like "That's not red, it's pink!" or "How is a clearish color black?"
Here is why. The colors that I used to get the appearance is what I named them. I applied a lot of Fresnel to these in order to get the glass effect. This basically restricts the color to the edges of the 3D models making it look lighter in appearance.

If anybody is interested in the files that I used to make these (I keep all my blender files, rendered images, and PNG strips organized in a folder) let me know and I may be able to send them to you in a .zip file.

Don't forget to rate and comment!

Enjoy! :-)

I like these. It would be good if you could do a 3D effect on them though, just to give it more depth.

Lol, these are about as 3D as it gets. I modeled them in Blender, a 3D program. Unless you mean 3D as in "3D glasses 3D." That, I am unfortunately unable to do. icon-image/4612-16x16x32.png image

NEOC fainted.

TOO IMPRESSIVE! Gemstones always looks cool because of they reflex the light. You are that skillfull: virtualized that effect.

The only difference between a real gem and your cursors is that… I can touch the real one! (If I didn't explained that well, here's what means: It's THAT realistic. THAT realistic.)

Note: Why 4.9 of 5 stars, if Intellisthetics, Pointer Adic, Ghost and me were the only ones scoring you, and we all gave you 5 stars? Isn't that rare?

This is awesome! Great job. It would be neat if they were transparent so it seemed like they were truly real.
