I am modeling a candle in Blender, and I want the flame to have the same shading look as it does in rendered view. This is in the viewport (wireframe):

enter image description here

This is rendered:

enter image description here

See how there is a slight purplish color in the center of the frame? How can I set the preview color to look the same as in rendered view?

Flames look better on a dark background. But it seems that in your color ramp the first color has no alpha channel, so hard edges are visible.

missing alpha channel?

  • $\begingroup$ This doesn't answer my question. I wasn't done changing all of the settings for the flame. What I am asking is if I can set the viewport color of the fire to somehow have some similarity to the color of the actual rendered flame so that I can see what I am working with without my computer lagging trying to adjust the colors in rendered view. This would be extremely helpful, as I waste plenty of time waiting for rendering pictures to become visible. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 27, 2020 at 3:51
  • $\begingroup$ At the moment the viewport is black, but the final image has a bright color. This affects the color of the flame. Try the following: First change the background color of the viewport so that it looks similar to the final image, then you can adjust the colors of the flame. $\endgroup$
