A set of gem cursors that I have made using Blender and RealWorld Cursor Editor. They are Glassy and reflective in appearance. I spent a great deal of effort on them, and came to know about that wonderful problem with 3D software called gimbal lock. Fortunately, I learned that setting my rotation mode to use quaternions solves that issue very rapidly.
Your choice of four colors. You all are going to be saying things like "That's not red, it's pink!" or "How is a clearish color black?"
Here is why. The colors that I used to get the appearance is what I named them. I applied a lot of Fresnel to these in order to get the glass effect. This basically restricts the color to the edges of the 3D models making it look lighter in appearance.
If anybody is interested in the files that I used to make these (I keep all my blender files, rendered images, and PNG strips organized in a folder) let me know and I may be able to send them to you in a .zip file.
Enjoy!

what is the snowflake trophy?
A reward for having organized/participated in the snowflake experiment.
Is there one for participating in the Smiley Experiment? lol
There is now!
Just to say i really like your work
Thank you for the comment on the Envy set. I was using rw cursor but Im liking the simplicity of AniTuner2. They both have +'s and -'s but the main one is that AniTuner2 i can import images directly to frames w/o having to set up the frames then adding the image as a layer. So if i have a 30 frame cursor all i have 2 do is hit enter 30 times to import and make the frame, then set the duration n hotspots. Speaking of hotspots, I think I have the hotspots fixed, however still not sure about the ibeam, it seems like its not quite right. BTW i too use blender to make and render the objects / frames. And also added the unavailable cursor to the set the rest will follow.
I tried anituner2 out and I definitely like rw cursorEditor better ^^ but that set of yours is rly nice
Dragging and dropping frames from a file manager to .ani file was supposed to work, but a bug slipped in. It will be fixed in the next version. For now, you could use a workaround: In the new RWPaint, create an animated image, drag and drop your frames to it, convert it to filmstrip and then import that in the cursor editor. It should be much faster than adding frames manually.
OHh that looks way easier. I cant wait to try it out. Thats pretty much the only + that other program has. Overall I too like RWCursor wayyyy better. I only wish i had the time and skill to draw the frames with RW, that way it would be exclusively an RW made cursor. 
nice work..
