Hey Trekkie,

When comparing the little guy you posted with the one by Raven, I'd say the biggest difference is the size of your little imp. He's sooooo skinny! So, maybe if you could somehow scale the flames down so that they were more apparent they would look like flames? Also, if you could slow the animation on the materials, it might help. I know fire is fast, but, that might be part of the problem. I'm not sure you'd see the flames going up so much as wiggling at the tips anyway. The smoke is what goes up;)
