Andrew,

I can't imagine it would be too difficult to model a flame using the sweep functionality.

Doesn't sound like you are looking for anything too complicated.  Not looking for fire, right?

If this solved your issue please mark this posting "Accept as Solution".

Or if you like something that was said and it was helpful, Kudos are appreciated. Thanks!!!!

I see JDMather already posted the link to the friday pictures topic, so i just want to add that the flame i posted there is in 2016 format.

My thoughts on making it that way was that a flame is more or less 3 parts; the dark base, the flame and an outer glow/haze.
It was done back in 2009, so the shape isn't too "natural".
If i had to make a new flame i'd probably mess around with the freeform tools...

In these cases, if there are no particular needs,  i often  use also opacity maps for the material.

no, im not looking for anything in particular. just ideas and thoughts on how to make them in inventor and look like a flame, not like a bullet shape
