I modeled the flames and rendered them with a glow.

hope that helps

that's a cool way of doing the candle flames...i never thought of that...i'd have gone at it with voxels...but your way's a lot simpler...awesome work so far!

I started with HV and I tried Volume lighting, but i just wasn't getting the result I wanted and this was fast and simplier solution.

In layout

Surface Editor Advance tab set Glow Intensity to 100%

Then under window Image Pocessing(^F8) check the Enable Glow box.

Here you can also change the intensiy and the Glow Radius

Render

Hope that helps
