This is a model of a candelabra that my uncle made for my wife and me as
a wedding gift.  Modeled in Moray, rendered in POV-Ray 3.1g. 
Original render was @ 1280x1024 and took just over 7 hours on my C500.
<p>I'm very anxious about the pending (?) release of the next official
version of POV-Ray and the subsequent release of Moray which will incorporate
new features such as photons.  I really like the new effects, but
I've become very dependant on Moray and haven't had the wherewithall to
try to use Mega'.  I know the flames need some work, but I was having
problems with media.
<p>Opinions?

Very nice. The modeling is simple, and the flames could use some work,
but it's a beautiful piece. I love the patterns of shadows it makes.

Using area lights with circular and orient keywords
should soften the shadows nicely. Photons? Maybe.
Otherwise good work.

Ah, the elusive flame. I just used nested transmitting egg-shaped
things.
Here's the code if you wanna take a look:

#declare flameb = merge {
   intersection {
      sphere { <0,0,0>,.3 scale <.16,1,.16> }
      plane { -y,.00001 }
   }
   intersection {
      sphere { <0,0,0>,.3 scale <.1599,.2,.1599> }
      plane { y,0 }
   }
}
#declare flame = union {
object { flameb
   texture {
      pigment {
         gradient y
         turbulence 0.2
         translate -.2*y
         scale .38
         color_map {
            [0.0 rgbt<-.5,-.3,1.2,.6>]
            [0.1 rgbt<-.5,-.3,1.2,.6>]
            [0.25 rgbt<.9,.8,.1,.3>]
            [0.4 rgbt<.9,.9,.85,.2>]
            [1.0 rgbt<.9,.9,.85,.2>]
         }
      }
      finish { ambient 2 diffuse 0 }
   }
}
object { flameb scale 1.1 pigment { color rgbt <.9,.8,.6,.5> } finish {
ambient 1 diffuse 0 } }
sphere { <0,0,0>,1 hollow
   texture { pigment { color Clear } }
   finish { ambient 0 diffuse 0 }
   interior {
      media {
         emission <1,.5,0>
         density {
            spherical
            turbulence .1
            color_map {
               [0.0 rgb<.4,.4,.4>]
               [0.2 rgb<.7,.7,.7>]
               [1.0 rgb<1,1,1>]
            }
         }
      }
   }
   scale .12 translate .13*y

Glad you like it.  I'm playing with the flame texture.  Let me get it 
closer and then I'll post it.  I finally figured out my media 
problem--forgot to make my sky sphere hollow--Doh!  The only problem I'm 
having now it getting the flame bright enough.  Anybody have any 
suggestions?  I'm pretty new to media.  I'm playing with David's 
suggestion too (thanks).

Use 'emission rgb 2' or something like that and in addition to that an
absorbing media with the same absorbtion-color, but use colors witch absorb
all light but the color of your emitting media (something like rgb
1-emicol). That gives you bright media, witch can also be seen on bright
backgrounds.

Just something I learned here recently, hope it helps.

Thanks for the advice.  I don't know if I'm in love with the flames, but
they definitely look a lot less like Christmas lights.  I think I'm going to
call this one complete.

Posting source is fine, but binaries.scene-files is definitely the
right place to do it.  Better archiving helps people find back
what they want.  Thanks.

Well, I think, the flames still aren't opaque enough, but this one is really
very nice!

Hello there,

Looks really very good!! Very realistic and ... both praise to you and
your uncle.. And your wife, of course not to forget..  ;o)

I wonder why no one has commented on this image yet, or is it just my
browser that doesn't display any responses. Anyway, it's fine work! And
took a whole lot of rendertime - gosh. And you didn't even use soft
shadows, it seems.

You also ask for critics, ok.. The flames could be improved a little
(but not by me) and the sterin is too white in my opinion.

Hugo
