Hello All,
I had this project up a while ago but dropped it for other things, I barely remember how to get the fire effect happening, any ideas.. I figured out that sprite mode was the way to go as far as a break up pattern in the flame, but it needs something else...

it needs to taper in some at the top I think. I really have no idea it just doesn't look correct as it is now. But you allready knew that. :rolleyes: Wish i could help more i have never tried fire before.:confused:

I thought about the tapering issue and maybe a reverse spot could be the answer, but here I tried to get the flames to lick, ( no puns) a bit more to see if I could break up the barrel effect the distant light shape causes
