Thank you both for you contributions to the Poser community.

This is only a 'study' animation, not intended to be evaluated on composition, smoothness of movement, details (such as parts of flowers intersecting others) etc. The point is to show of f this model of a brilliant-cut diamond and of the materials nodes of Poser for reflection and refraction.

The frames were rendered NOT at highest settings for pixel sample and min shade rate in the interest of time (this is not a finished piece). Actual settings can be studied above. The settings used on this animation (Pixel samples = 2, min shade rate = 2.09, raytrace bounces = 4) generated render times of aprox 8 min. per frame.

Pretty impressive for our little Poser, don't you think?
