I was a post in p.g and thought I'd give it a try.

Started with Moray, but am tweaking it by hand.

Yikes!  Mind if I say that this is really bad?  :-)
The problem is the mixture of yellow and blue going on all over inside that
flame.  You'll need to do a density_map method which separates the parts
out, perhaps using a gradient y pattern for the overall spread of the
density parts from bottom to top, with each of the contributing densities
being patterns of their own.  Example:

 #declare D1=
density {wrinkles density_map {[0 rgb <1,.5,0>][1 rgb <.5,.25,0>]}
sine_wave}
 #declare D2=
density {wrinkles density_map {[0 rgb <1,1,0>][1 rgb <.5,.5,0>]} sine_wave}
 #declare D3=
density {wrinkles density_map {[0 rgb <0,0,0>][1 rgb <0,0,1>]} sine_wave}

 density {gradient y density_map {
  [0 D1] [.5 D2] [1 D3]
 }}

Not of any help doing this in Moray, sorry. Maybe it will show what I mean
though.  Finally put the complete thing into it's spherical shape.

i'm sorry, but i have to agree with bob.  there is enough good fire out
there to start from.  i think some even came with the povray
distribution.  better luck on your second try.  and don't feel too bad,
i think texture making is the most time-consuming part of pov :)

It's not there yet is it, the flame looks a bit 2D aswell.

Have a look around in p.t.s-f and p.b.s-f there will be some
really good examples of flames that you can use as a starting
point.

I dont mind a bit, the "fire" is from a tutorial I found on the web...
I used the flame below and the torch now looks like a match..

I'm working on a flame media, When I get closer, I'll post it.

Thanks for the input.
Alan
