Main issue: Difficulty making diamonds look realistic in 3D jewelry models for a Shopify product page. The stones appear flat/transparent, lacking depth and “ROI” (as written), and don’t achieve a professional look.
Workflow/context:
Current status: No solution or fixes have been shared. Another participant asked if a solution was found, reporting the same issue.
Key open questions:
Resolution: Unresolved/ongoing; awaiting guidance or best practices for realistic diamond rendering/material setup compatible with .glb/.usdz and Shopify.
Hi,
Ive got some problem, I want to add a 3D model of my jewelery pices to my Shopify store, problem is the diamonds looks unreal and without any depth and ROI. I cant reach good, professional result, stones looks transparent. Im using Rhino and KeyShot for rendering. Files should be in .glb or .usdz format. Im adding pics of my result and my target. Thanks for any help!
Regards
Hi, Did you find a solution? I am facing the same issue.
This isn’t really a Rhino or KeyShot problem. Real-time formats like GLB / USDZ don’t handle diamonds well, so they lose depth and start looking transparent unless you fake it.
For Shopify, using a web-first 3D canvas avoids most of this since lighting and materials are already tuned for real-time. I’ve had fewer issues after switching to orbital3d.design.
Real-time jewelry is more about illusion than physical accuracy.
