HOURS AND HOURS LATER, THIS QUESTION IS STILL WAITING FOR APPROVAL FROM A MODERATOR MUCH LESS HELP!!! LOL LOL
WOW.
Never mind As usual I figured it out by myself. (I always do…)
I exported the candle. In 3ds Max I added a Plane and thin Shell modifier at the wick, then rotated it 90° (and flipped it 180° for good measure), I made it a single object, gave the planes Material ID 2.
Back in Ue4 I assigned the flame material to the planes (element 2) made a blueprint of the single piece candle to add a pointlight, in the Event Graph I did a looping delay on random range light levels and another random from range for the timings,…
I gave the candle a SubSurface Profile, and made the light have a wide source radius, soft source etc…
I think that’s it!
result!: UE4 SINGLE OBJECT, EVENT GRAPH CANDLE TEST - YouTube
