I've often tried to add flickering candle to a scene, for ambience, and almost every time I've been pretty underwhelmed with the effect. It usually looks unnatural, or doesn't have much impact. Sometimes no matter how much I screwed around with the noise modifier, it looked plain static. I also could never get a convincing loop without a lot of work. Not one tutorial I can remember made the point of adding the sine modifier, or a using the restrict frames to add a loop. Yet, accidentally, here I come across this, and it answers several puzzle scratchers I've had for years. Thanks. I appreciate it.
thank you! i also had a image plane (little flame of a candle) and i did the same with the keyframe! now it move irregularly like the light! (already had a wave modifier on it with weighted paint)

thx sherrycake I was wondering if I could use it for that application, you are pretty af btw
wait what properties did you change on the keyframe tho? since there's no power value for the img plane
Happy to see more tutorials from you!
very cool, haven't seen anyone else using these modifiers, I didn't know they existed!!
Nice. New tutorial !
tasty
