nobody answered me in the other groups... so:
I made a candle lit with an emission media.
When the background is black the flames look right, but as soon as I
add the candle to my scene the fire looks too clear, even if I
increase the amount of emission. What should I do?
Should I add absorption or scattering media to the fire ?

Be a little more patient...these are newsgroups, not a real-time chat
room, it can sometimes take a while for people to respond, and your
message was only on the server for a few minutes(11 minutes, actually).
Also, it helps to post to the right groups... ;-)

Absorption might help. That's what I used in my lightsabre
blade to make it show up better against light backgrounds.
My code is in povray.text.scene-files if it's helpful. There's
probably some fire code already in that group somewhere if
you look around.

Jonathan,
A candle flame in daylight should not be very visible, but I guess it would
depend on the ambient light levels in the scene. 12 Noon, would make the
flame nearly invisible. What I would suggest is for you to post a small
sample image of each in "povray.binaries.images" And ask for feed back on
the realism of the flame with the image next to each other.
Regards,
C.J.

...and please also see povray.announce.frequently-asked-questions
for the details on posting to the povray news server. Posting the
same message to several groups isn't necessary.
