- Well-known AI-sphere account teortaxesTex shared a model-generated nacre (mother-of-pearl) brise fan visualization: eleven aragonite blades annotated with CaCO₃/aragonite and third-order Bragg stack details, with an iridescent finish and a fold/unfold interaction.
- The author notes "massive progress on the nacre fan, this still isn't nacre but I'm hopeful," concluding "Opus is still untouchable" — using this aesthetically demanding materials-visualization task as a model capability benchmark.
