looking for gemstones rendering?

[digitalx3d]

Some time ago, somebody did a really cool rendering of several gemstones, all different colors. And I believe that person faked some kind of dispersion and wrote a tutorial describing the process. Does anyone know the whereabouts of this tutorial??

Thanks!

this could be another good link for you, but it's not for vray

Thanks Ray! Although that's not the exact one I had in mind, it's very good none the less, and the compositing process I think is similar to the one I'm thinking of.

Though if anyone else knows of this other image I'd still be interested. I seem to remember there being at least a dozen stones, rubies, diamonds, saffires, emeralds, etc. It was top notch.

Thanks guys!

You can find my tutorial and files for vray dispersion using a shellac technique here:

Not sure if this is exactly what you were asking for - the gemstones sound like someone else - but you could adapt my material for different colours.

You're not thinking of this are you John?

Thanks anyway Vu, but that's not it. I may actually be doing some projects before long rendering jewelry and gemstones. I'm surprised I haven't been able to locate this one more easily. Usually impressive images stick around, ya know?

Thanks guys!

Leobartz,
You can grab the material from www.osmosis.com.au >info>downloads
It was done with a much earlier version of VRay so not sure if it still works as it should.
