Quote - ... as I far as I can tell we still can't use transmaps on anything we want to turn into an emitter.  Mind I may have missed something is fighting to make Poser's library actually appear for most of the weekend.

That is true as it stands, but support for transmaps on emitters is imminent. It will be included in the next update. Using a proper 3d model of candle and flame might still prove to be the best option, but very soon you'll have the facility to use transmapped flames if you want to.

Trust me :-)

Next update will be tonight or tomorrow.
