 ### Developer Notes
 xcf file has colors used for manual tinting
-Blender Cycles project has nodes with custom labels with the following values:
-* If you rotate the gems, rotation must be applied, since absorption is manually done along object z axis (see "Blender gem tutorial" link below for why)
-Name,GemColor,IOR**,Scatter,Gloss,Clarity,Absorption

+(If you rotate the gems, rotation must be applied, since absorption is manually done along object z axis--see "Blender gem tutorial" link below for why)
+Do the following steps to re-render a block:
+* Open the included Blend file in Blender and set the input nodes as follows (if there are two, set one as the input for absorption and turn that up--or experiment):
+(you can also tweak whether fresnel, facing, or IsTransmissionRay is Factor for "Glow Mix" node (you can also flip the inputs)

+* Render the following cameras (or experiment): North, East, Top
+* In your favorite image editor, finish making them usable in-game:
+	* Crop all textures to 16x16
+	* Make the textures seemless such as by using these steps:
+		* Copy the bottom row of pixels of top, then Paste onto top row of pixels of north
+		* Rotate top to the right temporarilty (don't save top after this)
+		* Copy the new bottom row of pixels of top, then Paste onto top row of pixels of east
