I've been playing around with this for awhile and cant seem to get it to look right.

As you can see in the octane version there is a ton of red/pinkish flame, in the lw TFD view it looks more like the reference image.

What am i doing wrong? I've tried messing with the emission node and the volume node but nothing seems to clip back the flame and create a more gradual realistic looking blaze.

If you are working with the blackbody emission node, disable the "Normalize" option.

Thanks,

Got it! Scrapped using the black body emitter and just used textured emission.
