시지소사이어티 포럼(넙스X, fluid로 만든 촛불)

the key to get this look is quite simple. I just used a high amount of temp buoyancy like 50-70 & a good amount of density dissipation like 12-14. this will chop the flame in a manner where u`ll start getting a leaf shape on the top area. 
I also made the Y-velocity of the fluid to something like 1.2 & no swirl.
there is a slight temperature diffusion which helps me to give smooth color transition along the edges & in the bottom from blue to bright hot yellow.
this doesnt require any high detail solve ON so I have set it to OFF.
the resolution of the fluid is very low like 40 40 40 in all the axis.
One can go even low like 30 30 30 & can get very decent result.
I have set color to black in color shading tab as I am totally driving the color with incandescence shading. have look at my setiings here :

& for the opacity :

I`ll soon post the animation/simulation render,
thers is alot to come & I`ll post all my findings here. hope you guys would like it much.
Stay tuned,
Best
