What?!?....All of my candles at home work like this....? :lol: :lol:

It's a lovely still life image. I love the simple beauty & the smoke detail is a nice touch. I think maybe we should organize a few "Octane photowalks", where everyone get out their cameras, and shoot a few things inside & outside of our personal worlds...then remake the camera image with the tools of our choice to render in Octane (with a little bit of post work allowed). Kind of like the art class where everyone sits together & draws their interpretation of the bowl of fruit, or nude model etc... We all might learn some surprising things about our physical & virtual worlds ;)

@ FACE ...in my book size and diameter have nothing to do with density
and for your info I am graduate of visual Arts = color , forms and design
but now I guess we are clear and on the same page regarding to the smoke
and my reaction would be complete different if you described it more accurate in your first post and keep the sizes and diameters out of it

Are you in trolling mood also ? :lol:

people better see the full picture and stop analyzing details , it is about artwork not damn house blue prints
as imperfections make us human , other way we would have not talk here about , would be so boring perfect world

Thanks Alex , actually good idea .. a challenge for everyone to show own knowledge in renders .. that could be much fun

is that even possible ? why people that make great art works here never trolling around and they could as they do really impressive work
in own categories .. but for some it is not enough searching for stuff they can hang on to just prove someone mistake but are not even better in own work.. this is not nice .. we are here as community and show time about how is better .. just because I make dinner that do not fall into your taste , don;t mean it is bad .. other may like it . And we just playing around .. not serious fights

hehe A Gold Star for t_3 & his sharp eye...although I may have to consult the judges on the award because you may be familiar with my photographic work ;)
Just a little fun to "lighten" the mood since the candle flame was blown out :lol:
I do promise you this though...the day is soon coming when discerning the virtual photo from the physical one here will not be that easy, if it's possible at all. Be prepared. I take my signature very seriously <cue dramatic Hans Zimmer crescendo> :ugeek:
