Here's something I did in Poser 8, having read the original post earlier today.

All the torches have a 'flame' material: I plugged the original color map into the ambient node, gave it a bright orange colour and set ambient value to 100. That's right, 100. I turned all lights off.

The first render at my usual preview settings (IDL on, of course) looked pretty terrible so I did another at my production quality setting... and then went and did the shopping, came back, unpacked all the groceries, made a cup of coffee and... it was almost finished. So be prepared for long render times to get decent results.

It's still not perfect and could do with more aggressive render settings, I think, but it shows that self-illuminated props can work.
