text from the workshop follows.
Have you ever found yourself needing a little bit of fire to go on top of your candles? Have you ever needed a LOT bit of fire to go on top of your candles? I had a mighty need for candles, so I built a quick system to deploy them by the hundreds. In addition to just releasing particles, this pack is intended as a reference for those who wish to reverse engineer these partcles. As such, feel free to use or change them however you want.
These particles are intended for filling out scenes with candles. If you only need a single flame for a single candle , use the candleset_master_1 particle. But if you have ten candles? skip straight to the candleset_master_10 particle, which contains ten candle flames in one particle. I have also included a 25 candle and a 50 candle setup, for intensely candlefull scenes.
The materials used in These particles make use of $minsize, $maxsize, and $fadedistance in a couple of different ways in order to achieve a more realistic look. for example
-This pack contains a few Psuedo lens flares which behave appropiately wih regards to to the camera (they don't grow or shrink as you get closer, relative to the screen size.)
-Using the same parameters as above, this pack contains embers which always render at least 2-3 pixels large, making them visible even at extreme distances, while keeping them small when up-close
-Using the fade distance parameter, some of these flares are also designed to fade out with distance in order to allow for increased realism and cleaner control of the final image.
