To add a flame to the wick, set up a particle system. The second light is of type 'hemi' and its position and settings you can see on picture again. This light will simulate the light of the flame as well as giving the impression that the wax is hot around the wick. This we will make up with lightingĪdd a lamp just above the candle and set it as you see in the picture. It is a rather dark color we usualy expect for the wax near the flame. For the wick I used a black colored material with Spec and Ref sliders on zero.įor the wax I used a material with the parameters that you can see on picture. By scaling the circle you can adjust the wick´s proportions. The cirvle is now extruded along the path. Now select the bezier curve again and while still in the Edit Buttons window click on BevOb button and enter the name of circle (see above). Next add a bezier circle in top view and name it by clicking on OB: field in edit buttons menu ( ) In right view add a bezier curve and shape it as shown. By selecting and moving individual CV's with various magnetic ranges, create a crater shape typical for a used candle. Switch to right view now and with the active proportional editing tool move the CV´s down a little. You can switch between them by pressing +. There are two modes for the proportional tool - a sharp falloff and a smooth one. This tool works like a magnet and when it is activated actions like moving, scaling and rotations affect not only selected vertices but unselected ones within adjustable range as well. With the border select tool select the middle inner circle and press to activate the proportional editing tool. If you are in editmode and want to restore this state later press, but I am sure you knew this. Please notice that the first extruded circle is only a little bit smaller than the outer circle for the wax will be thin here. Extrude by pressing and scale them down with. With the top Control Vertices (CV's) still selected, switch to top view ( ). You can do this by using box-select ( ) and selecting the top vertices. Start by adding a tube surface in the top view ( ) and make it extended in the right view ( ). I wrote this tutorial several weeks ago for Czech Blender begginers and this is the English version of it. It is supposed that you know Blender interface enought to insert objects and handle them.

This tutorial shows how to make the basic shape of a candle and a simple flame. A candle is one of the basic light sources you will need in your scenes, especially when you situate them in the Middle Ages.
