Hi All,
I made a diamond using mental ray glass material (reflection, refraction - raytrace maps plus caustics) but it doesn't seem to sparkle (I mean emitting small rays of light at its sharp ends - like a lens effect) and I can't find out how to do it.

I'm fresh in 3ds max so I'd appreciate any help

Thanx,
alikim
