I am going to ask for at least the textures to this "candlelight" else their is
little to study without textures (5).

liquid_wax
Glass0
Brushed_Aluminum0
light_candle_outside
light_candle

Looks like you put a lot of work into this scene and would love to see more.

Heres the flame I found, but looking at the wick it seems transparency is

The next image will be a transparent beam for study,
I dont have much trouble finding this candle flame:
