Nifty! I'm going to sign up for the CGSphere site just so I can vote for it.
 (- and so I can get around to creating a submission.) The contrast between
the bit of blue in the flame and the rest of the well chosen subtle color
palette is truly eye-catching.  I for "two" would love to see the code for
the flame.  Kudos.

Regards,
Mike C.

P.S.  "barberofcivil" is a great handle

Thanks.  I just posted the flame source this morning in text.scene-files.

barberofcivil was a bit of an in-joke for myself, being a civil engineer.
