The 3DArtist's article is very rich in tips for making flickering torch ligths. I have no time to make a resume, but here is some tips that I found interesting : Make a 60 frames flc of flame made of yellow an red flame. Simple drawing. Use a flat rectangular polylines as a projector for the flames over the torch. You can bend stretch … the projector if there is wind. Made the projector transparent and decal the flame flc over it… Remove shadow on the projector so the flame won't throw shadow ! As you will probably agree with me, it's difficult to find a better reference for that matter. Have a good day, Pierre
