Yes thats wright i need help,

I'm attempring to put a flame onto a missle I rendered. But It wont work. In the fiel with just the flame it works when you press the render button, I get a nice blue flame. But the second I move it into the missle file it stops. Or when i move the missle into the flame file. The flame file is a .ssh and the missle is a .s3d. Is there a conflect or something. If you want me to send you the files just5 email me at jager@evula.net

Jager, what are you modeling the flame as? Are you making a fountain object with a flame texture+metaballs or using a lens flare or did you make the geometry by reshaping using bezier modeling?

Sorry but you really didn't give enough info for anyone to help you heh. If you're using a fountain effect it needs to have the timeline set forward a few seconds to show up.

I just realised...I hate huge signatures and I have one myself- DOH!

Just put them in the same graphics file when you start.

I DONT KNOW. I didn't make the file. It was DownLoaded of of stratcafe. In teh modles section under resources. in Sci-Fiction. I will send you the file. but from what I can tell its a cone with a colour/texture that looks like a flame. But I will try to set the time line ahead and see what happens

Just checked the colour. And it sayes its a fog. I had the 'flame' in place where I want it. and set the time .02 secs ahead. But then strata crshed. so I'm trying again

Not bad. But you need to work on the texturing and detail.

Looking quite good now but the bottom and right fins need to both be rotated through 180 degrees in the z-axis. As I remember, you may need to ungroup the fins first.
