I did this video for a client a year ago called Jewelry Making for the hobbiest. I created a diamond ring animation for the opening logo treatment. I gave the faces of the diamond (classic shape) 5% automatic reflection maps for flat mirrors. I put colored omni lights inside the diamond just behind each cusp. I used 10 blue lights, 5 red lights 5 green lights and 3 yellow lights. I used IPAS hilite cross stars on the cusps as the diamond rotated. The client was very pleased with the effect. The diamond floated and tumbled in as the parts of a gold ring and mounts all fell into place over a sunset sky background. I know it wasn't technically accurate because I don't know anything about diamonds except they are hard, made of carbon and are expensive. <g>
