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.

And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU.
