candle

[celmar]

Hello! I have a very complex animation, a heavy scene... There are candles, and I don't really want to weigh it down by putting a shot with an animated flame... I tried a visible corona light, but it really makes the ball too sharp... would anyone have a suggestion? thank you!!!

I have faked this in the past by modeling a simple Flame shape from a flat plane/polygon and used a luminous texture.  Lots of easy ways to lightly animate this if you need a flicker or movement.
