That is looking really good, though I am wondering if the wax is a little too translucent.

Is that with the candle material you posted?  Any other light sources in the scene?  Just curious as it is looking far more convincing than the single candle scene I am playing with at present.

It is a bit too translucent. I'm still floundering around, trying to get one little step closer at a time!

Yes, it uses the material I posted, unmodified. There are no other light sources in the scene - just the candle.

There's no postwork either, but quite a bit of 'fiddling' in the Lux GUI. I experimented with the option to add 'bloom'. I'm not sure I like the final result, but it looks better with it than without. Lesser of two evils!
