My attempt so far, same shader, rendered in both SuperFly and FireFly.

Those look excellent ! Very close to many of the photos I've seen. But I'd definitely recommend lighting some candles and watching them. As I mentioned, I've noticed that when actually watching a candle flame the wick is usually clearly visible.

That raises another question regarding what I'm actually trying to achieve.Is it a photographic representation, or a representation of what the eye sees ? I have to say that I don't really know.

The 3Dcheapskate (also available in DAZ and HiveWire3D flavours) occasionally posts sensible stuff. Usually by accident.
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.
