My only concern would be that the bottom of the flame seems a bit flat, is this a single plane, in which case seeing it from a different angle might be an issue, though you could still have a 90 degree billboard both with the same mat I suppose, really nice work
The flame is actually a sphere - I've never really liked the 2D billboard approach. The different flame shapes are just a couple of very quickly (and badly) created morphs.
The flatness you see at the bottom is probably something to do with the way I'm using v_texture_coordinate to control transparency.
The 3Dcheapskate* occasionally posts sensible stuff. Usually by accident.
