Candle Flame Test Render

Test 3D render of a candle flame using hypervoxels.

3D Software: Newtek Lightwave 3D.

Quick Tutorial:
In Layout create a particle emitter (Items > Add > Dynamic Obj. > Particle) Name it Emitter and select HV Emitter as the type.

Set the following Object Properties for the new emitter:

Enable hypervoxels in the scene (CTRL+F6 > Add Volumetric > Hypervoxels 3.0) Double click Hypervoxels 3.0 to edit.

In the Hypervoxels 3.0 dialogue double click Emitter to enable hypervoxels on the particle emitter.

Use the following settings for the Emitter hypervoxels:

That's it. Just make sure your scene is at least 30 frames long to allow the flame to reach it's full height. Have fun tweaking the values and/or adding wind dynamics.
