I did another scene to try the big bonfire scenario. (Click to enlarge)

I used two point lights.

#1: 50 inches above the ground, orange, 20% intensity at 100 inches distance.
#2: 200 inches above the ground, red, 75% intensity at 100 inches distance.

If you only use one light, you get shadows where you shouldn't. The two lights here produces the proper shading depending on whether a surface faces up, down, or horizontal. It also makes high things more red and low things more orange.

I don't think adding any more lights would make any appreciable difference.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
