> Quote - Ok So I am trying this out, using lower render settings just to see how it goes, and here is what I have so far. Ignore the fireplace, I couldn't figure how to get it to make the room glow! Will work on that next :) > >  

looks good from what I see, to get the fire to glow, set the ambient to white and increase the value - in the attached image I had the ambience on the fires set at 500 I also plugged the colour map into the ambient colour node so that i got the flames looking like flames - hope that helps.
