The candle only casts a shadow in the animation, the blendfile was fixed as you can see in the still render. Yeah, the server I use for my website had issues yesterday. It's better now. Lucky the blendfile is on mudpuddle, eh? Logan: I tried softbodies originally, but I didn't like the the way it looked. When I used an armature, I could completely control the way the flame moved, something that was important for my animation. But if you've got a million candles all going at once (say in a castle, or something) then softbodies might be more reasonable. But again on the same token, you could animate a loop and offset each candle. Anyways, the point is that I already thought of softbodies, but couldn't get them to work for me, and that's why it's an armature. Nathan I'm glad you all liked it.

Perhaps Soft Body dynamics will improve it even further :) Whoo nice one. Perhaps Soft Body dynamics will improve it even further :)
