Candle Animation
by Administrator on Oct.26, 2010, under Animating Tips
In this example we shall use the quick particle effect wizard to create a nice animated candle. The result is:
We used the cylinder tool for the candle itself. We used a modified cylinder for the candle holder. We used a ring shape for the handle. The shine on the candle is simply a circle with a radial gradient where the outer colour opacity is 0%.
To create the flames we used the quick particle creator and used an orange colour. This layer is underneath the shine layer to give the best effect.
