My main question is why there is grass growing around it.

Green energy is the general hype today. If your energy isn't green enough, decorate it with grass :D

The flames are quite nice.

I'd just say look at as many references as you can and pick apart differences in:

• Metal material
• Flame shape: not perfectly uniform etc.
• Flame color (yours seems quite good but seems a little light blue)
• Heat distortion etc.

I'd say your close but something seems a little off.

Give the flame a subtle orange/yellow color on the interior and make the material fade/soften more on the exterior. Might be useful to add a couple of flowers/butterflies and the like to clarify that the green stuff is grass. As of now I was initially confused what I was looking at.

Maybe you mean 'exterior', no? :idea:

well thank you all for the feedback,
but i abandoned the project, my client disappeared, i didn`t get payed :) so... :evil:
as for the materials for the stove he asked for those dull metals that exact type of flame.

@Odeas
the flame was made with an opacity map on a curved plane, as for the heat distortion i have no clue how to achieve that in octane

@Nichod
that is a good idea but i`m not going to work on this project anymore :) if the client will pop up at my door with the money in his hand maybe i will finish he`s stove.

Best regards,
Tudor
