Christmas Molecule

Just a bit more fun with the flame game, based on Rick Sidwell’s excellent guide to Blur . This time I remembered I’d used gaussian blur as part of the Cosmic Scripts so I ran a few of those to get some ideas, then ended up tweaking and making the last final a glynnsim1.  Here’s the flame.

I don’t know why, but it only renders with the Interactive Render, rendering it the other way makes everything too dark.
