Acadia.... check out this page: http://www.3dlapidary.com/HTML/Renders2.htm#STEP3 What Kalon said is truly important. You do *need* something for the diamond to reflect. You can create a scene where nothing shows in the camera's view, except a black (or white) backdrop, but placing 'things' **behind** the camera helps the rendering of the diamond tremendously. While the example I show is done in Bryce, the principles are the same for Poser. In that example, I used flat white panels to increase the 'whiteness' of the diamond's look, but you could throw in some multi-colored pieces to fake the colored fire seen in a diamond. Just make sure everyting *but* the diamond piece is -behind- the camera.
