The flame is a bezier patch with scattering media. In flame1 the only light
is a blue spotlight at its base, and it's almost acceptable. As soon as I
add a point light to the scene (flame2), it's totally unacceptable. I've
tried tweeking everything I can think of, and can't keep the outside of the
bezier patch from showing. Is there a way to fix this, or am I going about
it all wrong?

don't forget to make the point light not interact with media

I thought of that, but my eventual goal is to have a tea kettle sitting on a
gas burner with steam coming out of the tea kettle. I don't know how to do
steam yet, but I thought it might also involve media. Am I wrong about that?

For a flame, I'd use emitting media and for steam i'd use scattering

	Basically, it's just an emitting media with a proper density function.
I'll post the source to p.t.s-f, but I must warn you that it probably
will only work with MegaPov 0.7 since it uses emission method 2 media.
However, it should be portable to 3.5 by using standard emitting media
(it just won't look as good on a bright background).

FYI, POV-Ray 3.5 has the 'method 2' as well as 1 and 3 (default). I'd expect
that MegaPOV 1.0 also has all three, since based on the official 3.5 code.

	I'm not talking of the sampling methods (1, 2 and 3) which work with
any kind of media, but of the emission method, of which there are two
and which I know didn't make it into 3.5 (didn't check 3.6 beta, nor
MegaPov 1.0 but I know it's based on 3.5 and that some of what was in
mp0.7 didn't make it through).

	The relevant line in the source I posted is:

emission { 2, <0, 0, 8> extinction 4 }
