@CrazyEyes:
Just for the record, I think your model and render are excellent.

[Marian]

Some flames. They're probably a bit highpoly to be of use, but I just wanted to experiment.

Nice 'flame' model Marian, did you model three flames for the component or just one and scaled it to fit inside each other?

[Marian]

I initially just modeled a rounded cone, then copied it 2 times and scaled them to fit inside the first one. I then made them all a group and used the Radial bending tool from the Fredo Scale plug-in http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=17948&hilit=free+scale to bend the whole thing up. I then just copied them.

Nice flames, Marian!

(I got it down to 150kb if that makes it more useable)

Cool, any little big helps. Some people might have a lot of cookers to lit up and the number of the flames pile up fast.

Lyall I turned on the cooker for you. You can now make me a nice stew or something.

Looks real good Marian, but I've tried rendering the flame with Twilight, and it's a no-go. I would need some sort of diffusion template to achieve it, but alas, there is no such thing.

Yeah, rendering the flames to look as real as possible is a whole 'nother can of worms unforunately.
