My attempt so far, same shader, rendered in both SuperFly and FireFly.

Those look excellent ! Very close to many of the photos I've seen. But I'd definitely recommend lighting some candles and watching them. As I mentioned, I've noticed that when actually watching a candle flame the wick is usually clearly visible.

That raises another question regarding what I'm actually trying to achieve.Is it a photographic representation, or a representation of what the eye sees ? I have to say that I don't really know.

The 3Dcheapskate* occasionally posts sensible stuff. Usually by accident.
And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU.

*also available in ShareCG, DAZ, and HiveWire3D flavours (the DeviantArt and CGBytes flavour have been discontinued).
