Diamond prim?

Alright, I know there isn't one...and that's a shame! It's a horrible injustice! So...we should start a petition or something...shouldn't we? T_T 4 prims to make a simple shape seems so wrong! Iunno, maybe options to edit diagonals on a cube instead...or...something. Someone should take this to e-paper as a formal petition *nods*

Try taking a cube and setting start and end twists to 45. Then stretch.

Hm, I don't think I follow, it looks funny.

"Looks funny"? Well um... Are you sure you set the cube's twist values to 45 and 45?

If you're having any trouble making whatever 'diamond' you want, don't hesitate to report back here and ask about it (but do try to be clear what your issue is).

Cool! Thanks, Seifert

You can make a gemstone (diamond) shape with a torus.
Hole size: .50
Profile cut: B .150, E .300

Hope that helps.

I tried 45 and 45 and it just makes the cube square again. If you mean 45 and -45, that really doesn't look like a diamond to me, unless I'm not understanding your directions?
Perhaps you could be more clear on the values?

A dimpled sphere. Dimple in one direction only until you get the proportion you like. It's not easy to texture though.

It seems that a lot of jewelry just puts a gem texture on the base of a cone. Very simple, but can't be made as small.

It's the final stretching that turns it into a diamond...... because of the twists you stretch in the diagonal directions.

Try hollowing a sphere with a square profile then texture the inside and make the outside totally clear

/me counts 4 different ways so far...
All tested really well in world, with different possible uses.
Very Cool! You guys are awesome!

Start with a torus
-> Hole size X 1.00 Y 0.50
-> Profile cut B 0.200 E 0.300
-> Size X 0.300 Y 0.500 Z 0.500

change type to Sphere! And use a class/diamont texture!

I think this will make a real good gemstone!
