Rainbow Diamond Coloring ​

Rainbow Diamond Coloring

Rainbow Diamond Coloring creates a smooth, seamless color gradient across a series of diamonds. The gradient loops perfectly — the first color flows into the last without any visible break, producing a beautiful infinite rainbow effect. This feature is located in the Extras tab on the right panel.

Step-by-Step Guide ​

Step 1: Prepare Your Model ​

Before using this feature, your diamonds must be named correctly in your 3D software. Each diamond should have a consistent name prefix followed by a sequential number — for example:

gem001, gem002, gem003, … gem040

The numbering must be sequential so the gradient follows the correct order around the model. This is the only preparation needed — once the names are in order, you're ready to go.

Step 2: Apply a Diamond Material ​

Select one of the gem objects in the canvas and apply a Diamond Material to it. Make sure all the diamonds in the sequence share the same material layer.

Step 3: Open the Extras Tab ​

Go to the ExtrasExtras tab on the right panel and find the Rainbow Diamond Coloring section.

Step 4: Set the Object Name Prefix ​

In the Object Name Prefix field, enter only the name part without the numbers. For example, if your diamonds are named gem001 through gem040, type just gem.

Step 5: Set the Count ​

In the Count field, enter the total number of diamonds in your sequence. For example, 40 if you have gem001 to gem040.

Step 6: Set the Loops ​

In the Loops field, choose how many times the color gradient should repeat across the full sequence. For example, 1 loop means one full rainbow cycle across all diamonds, 2 loops means the gradient repeats twice.

Step 7: Choose the Starting Color ​

Click on the color picker and select the starting color for your gradient. The gradient will automatically generate a full rainbow cycle starting from this color. Red is a common choice for a classic rainbow effect.

Step 8: Apply ​

Click the Color All Items button. The rainbow gradient will instantly be applied across all your diamonds in sequence.

Settings ​

Object Name Prefix
Input — the shared name prefix of your diamond objects, without the sequential numbers (e.g., gem for gem001–gem040)
Count
Input — the total number of diamonds in the sequence
Loops
Input — how many times the full color cycle repeats across all diamonds. 1 produces a single seamless rainbow, higher values create a tighter repeating pattern
Color
Color picker — the starting color for the gradient. The gradient generates a full hue cycle from this color
Color All Items
Button — applies the rainbow gradient to all diamonds matching the prefix

Diamond naming matters

The diamonds must be named with a consistent prefix and sequential numbers (e.g., gem001, gem002, …). If the naming is inconsistent or the numbers are not sequential, the gradient will not apply correctly.
