I took and modified N.M.'s idea for a wireframe off of the c.g.r.r. newsgroup, took and modified a fire texture I found somewhere on this newsgroup. I applied it to my metalman.inc and viola! Some kind of metaphor for the human spirit, huh?

One of the key changes was changing the density from spherical to bozo.

texture
{ pigment
    { gradient x color_map
      { [0 rgb <.1,.1,.5>]
        [.25 rgbt <1,1,1,1>]
        [.89 rgbt <1,1,1,1>]
        [1 rgb <.1,.1,.5>]
      }
      scale 0.15
    }
}
texture
{ pigment
    { gradient y color_map
      { [0 rgb <.1,.1,.5>]
        [.25 rgbt <1,1,1,1>]
        [.89 rgbt <1,1,1,1>]
        [1 rgb <.1,.1,.5>]
      }
      scale 0.15
    }
      }
