Does anyone remember Antoine Clappier's Diamond Tutorial Viewlet? Does it still exist on the web? Or is it gone for good? Thanks, Steama

I know it is simple. The large circle has 16 vertices at 10 inches --- The second circle has 12 vertices at 5 inches. What I want is that nice uniformed look of the polygons. I tried loft but it is not symetrical as the images shows. Here is an image of how his tutorial turned out.

I am surprised at the sudden interest in diamonds. Do you think it may have something to do with Valentines Day coming up in 2 weeks?

You might want to consider using this map for building your diamond. The facets are more like what you would see in a real diamond and it is not any harder to build.

I found this out on the Web somewhere but, unfortunately, I cannot recall where or else I would give credit where credit is due.
