      Really nice Pete! Is that an animated .gif used on an alpha plane?

        I used a cropped .avi on an alpha plane.

        If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

          Could you supplement the .avi with a small omni light as it doesn't appear to have any light casting quality?

            I have a small omni present, I could bump up the multiplier for more glow.

                  I'd love to enter this challenge; but darnit, my windows PC took a dump yesterday(watch out for the latest nVidia system drivers, at least on the 780i) due to corrupted USB drivers and I can't get into the comp at all thanks to only having USB mouse and keyboard. 😑 😑 😠

                  Not to mention my monitor picked today to die. πŸ˜’

                  Complaints, I has them! Don't close the challenge yet β˜€ ! That is, unless there's a way to get Sketchup working on my Linux laptop!

                    😒 My Indigo gave me a great day to stop working 😳
                    Anyone know the solution?

                                Here's a candle model I found on 3dwarehouse just now. Just added the flame and made the base shiny metal.
                                Candlestick_lightup.jpg

                                The flame is animated in realtime but I can't upload the .mov file so I've put a 320x240 on Vimeo

                                  Is that animation LightUp, Adam? 😲
                                  (I gotta try it once - I even have the "project" for it...)

                                    Sure is.

                                    The all new, all dancing v1.5 is hopefully out tomorrow too. 😍

                                      Is there also objects animation included. I seem too recall seeing that as well. Sure it looks very promissing.

                                          Majid,

                                          Your wax material is really great, would you share your settings ? KT's Sss is not the most documented topic...

                                            It's not that difficult, Eulgrand... πŸ˜‰

                                            I suggest that you go ahead and download the Transluscent.mat.zip from the KT Forum...
                                            Take the "Milk" or the "Plastic transluscent" and play around with the colors and material settings... πŸ˜‰

                                            Cheers
