You would think that in an article like this the guy would at least paint the flames the right way. Flames are hotest in the center and cool as they get away from the source, thus they are brighter/ligher in the center and darker almost to black smoke at the extremities.
A bit vague... The step \"Jab the putty with a hobby knife\" doesn\'t really tell you how to scuplt realistic flames.
Thanks for the link none the less. Received some scenery bits of which one was a torch and was wondering how I might make the flame bigger.

Well, just how dark they get -- whether or not they\'ll go nearly to black and such -- depends on a few factors, such as the material. But yes, that always did bug me about that article, too. Normally I say something about it if I\'m bringing out that link, but I was in a hurry posting from work last night.
Essentially, I think we agree: it\'s weak, but it\'s better than nothing.

It can\'t be the other way around! The light intensity is proportional to the energy which is more or less equivalent to the temperature. And the temperature is always highest where it\'s actually burning. The flames lose temperature the farther away from the source they get, thus becoming less bright.
And, for the record, I don\'t think fire looks best painted in reverse! It looks best painted like it is in real life.

I agree one hundred percent. I could be looking at a model that was painted to a Demon-winning standard in terms of technique and skill... but if it includes flames that go from a dark center to light tips, I\'ll have a tough time looking away from what I know I\'ll be seeing as a glaring problem.
(And yes, I\'m actually that way about most things in life. I work as a copy editor for corporate news/press releases, for which we\'re supposed to concern ourselves with catching egregious errors but not worry too much about a missing comma here or there. A friend and fellow editor once reviewed some changes, covering every minute detail, I\'d made to a release and told me, \"You\'re so particular!\" I just grinned and joked back to her, \"No... I\'m just correct!\")
