This is a prop I made for my bridge scene entry into the July 2008 image contest over on the Gnomon Workshop forums. I had two of these guys hanging off the arches in the center of my Medieval bridge.

I rendered these out in a few different passes, first I lit the model with a Yellow/Orange Vray light to simulate the illumination from the fire and then did a model only pass in 3ds Max using Vray. The second pass consisted of the flames only, and was done using Fumefx and the scanline renderer. I then did a simple comp in Photoshop to blend everything together.
