Jewel3d v2.0 Software

[Javier Odom]

This software is rough.

It is difficult to wrap and cleanup scans using this software.  The controls offer zero insight as to what they do and there is is no preview of changes so it is mostly a guessing game.

Aligning multiple scans can be frustrating.  I sometimes find myself just rescanning rather than trying to mess with the aligning.  Auto align works if there are some obvious details, however, aligning on an oval shaped cabochon object is more luck than anything else.

Mesh Quality can be adjusted from 1 to 6.  Is a 1 better than a 6?  Trial and error.

Fillings Denoise can be adjusted from 0 to 9.

Smoothen can be set from 0 to 50.

Decimate can be set from 5 to 100.

This is only a "slice" of the software, but it is fairly consistent throughout ... no real guidance, mostly a guessing game, and clunky to use.

I will try to put together some guides here to help me, and anyone else using this device.
