Rendering Flames? Fires? Burning Stuff? Help! 
 
Spike Jonez is getting frustrated: I would really appreciate it if anyone could give me some pointers of how to render flames with relatively random flame-like motion and lighting. I'm having no luck with this! Please help! 
 
Taura responds:
My best advice is a sphere with a halo texture with a 0.5 turbulence. 

Make the color map: 

color 0.0   0,0,0,1 
color 0.3   0.6,0,0,0.4 
color 0.6   0.6,0.6,0,0.1 
color 1.0   1,1,0.5,0 

That's the starters, fine tune it later :)
