Hi Steve,

Very good mini-tutorial. Another great technique to add along with the cloud tutorial.

Thanks.

The other nite I saw a guy in a movie light one of those Zippo type lighters...he held it steady while talking etc. I saw a flame that came up from a blue/green and half up started the orange/yellow even going to white glow. Doesn't the liquid in those things make a differance producing the flame? I donno..

Well, it really does depend on the fuel and lighter, I don't own a zippo so I had to use a little BIC lighter for the tutorial, and stared at it to get it's characteristics, and again for the pic at the bottom,so please excuse me if the color's off a bit, the light kind of threw my vision off for a little bit! But to really get the full characteristics of a certain flame or anything, your best bet would be to get a model of exactly that.

Your last flame is more realistic. The flame from the tutorial has too much air. If you had that kind of flame coming out of the old Zippo, you'd wind up torching your smoke and singeing (how do you spell singe-ing?) your eyebrows.

Great flames either way, though.

Yea Gary, I know what you mean, I thought the same thing! That flame from the tutorial wouldn't exactly fit on a zippo, more likely from a log or something, but it was your lighter that inspired me! thanx for all the feedback guys

Steve- I agree with having a real model maker to observe. Unfortunately I had just a quick glance at the one I saw. But I'm glad you got the idea of what I wanted to get across. The flame on your tutorial Zippo is far from the one you observed on the Bic lighter. I believe if you took that one and placed on lighter, with a little modification, it will be on target. I saw one similar to what your last one looks like done in a Animadted.Gif. The lower part was quite still and the upper part with the yellow etc.moved from side to side with slow flicker. I don't remember where I saw it.
Thanks of hints etc.
