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! 😊

Great, as always 😊. I really should add better support for sets with multiple color variations.

Thanks! I am working on a matching icon set, but it will be a short while. The icons take about an hour or so to render. I went all out on these. We've got raytracing, highest level anti-aliasing, fresnel, IQR settings, reflecting,and more going on.

It takes about an hour to two hours for one of the 256x256 icons to render. I have a quad core 3GHz AMD Phenom II CPU and 4GB RAM. Just an idea of how much is going on in those.

I tried using blender once without much luck. You are very talented!

Thanks Absterninja!
If you want to use Blender, I definitely recommend watching super3boy's tutorials on youtube. He helps get some basics down on using it. He might not have Blender 2.5 tutorials though, so you might want to check out the tutorials on Blender.org as well. I may also post a tutorial on using blender to make cursors when I have more time someday.

I can see that you spent a lot of time on these. I have to say you seem to like creating cursors and icons. My only suggestion to this set is that you add more colors.

It looks hard to make these, so you will get 5 stars from me 😊
