Color of Torch Fire? (3delight)

Scavenger

I'm working on a dungeon scene that will largely be lit with point lights as torch flames..a prety common setting..

What settings have folks used to get a good firelight that's not so orange or yellow or a mix, or is this even the right path?

I think I have the intensity level...but I'd like to avoid there being the super bright spots at the center of the point, rather having the prop fire be seen. Below is the scene, and then an arial shot showing light placement.  The lights on the right side are off camera, where they'd be in a different angle shot

I tend to use the UberPoint Torch light for this sort of thing.

gives the RGB values for various color temperature lights...something around the candle flame works well.

Thanks! I knew something like that had to exist, but I couldn't find the search times to find it.

A few of the other links are to fun little things like that, too.

Interesting...

I'll need to look at those..I was learning about the the uber area shader the other week.

Hmm, got the colors right, but I still get the big white spot at it's core..

Screenshot? (an updated one...)

Usually, that means the intensity is still too high.

Its the same as above.. I'm playing with the uberenviroment settings, trying to find what should be a good ambient setting, and then I'll lower the torches to be more effects oriented.
