I was browsing through the gallery and came across your image "And man created the Colour Personal Computer ...". I really wanted to know how you did the flame on the candles, as I have an image that is badly in need of realistic looking candle flames.

Hi Dethblud, The flames are simple objects in fact . Vertex here but you can use spline of metaballs aswell . The effect comes from the shader tree . You can see that the object is fully transparent ( don't forget to check "no light interactions ..." ) . In the glow channel, two colors ( marine and ocre ) were mixed with the elevation plug-in from DCG, that's all . Hope this helps ! Show us your image when it's done ! litst
