I posted an image to the gallery. One that has been lurking a while, I think. :) I'm playing with lights.. atmosphere and lightsettings in the "studio". One thing I can't quite figure out is how I make a flame look a bit realistic. I've tried a light surrounding the flame object; volumetric and not. Tried to put the default "flame" texture on the model WITH and WITHOUT light surrounding it... I can't make it look very good, so I ended up cropping the candle light out of the image (see link)... Any secrets out there that you'd want to share with me?? Thanks! Britt :)

What I've done in the past with flames and fire are basically putting a picture of a flame on a 2D plane and then adding a couple of light spheres in front of it to give it some brightness... MD

Wow, bizarre. Looks great, almost painted. I like it a lot. I found a great tut a while ago, I'll see if I can find it.

Here it is, it's in pdf format, so make sure you have Adobe Acrobat.

Crank the ambiance way up, make it transparent to some degree, and put a light inside of it. Turn off cast and recieve shadows. Clay has a great fire mat off in freestuff (great for billowing infernoes, not really for candles), and Pinhead over at the 3dcommune made some really nice fire mats in the freestuff there. You got very good results in the image, BTW.

Any Tips for gels on lights. I tried some fire mats and they all stank. I've had good luck with caustics for water though.

Thank you for your comments here and in the gallery! :) That means a lot to me. I was able to bookmark the tutorial before the power supply on my computer went kaboom. So I'll certainly go through it, and post the result! :) Britt
