~Menorah and Candle Freebie~
Happy Hanukkah! 
This is a pack of Menroa and Candles props (traditional Hanukkah candlestick), good for Poser 6 and above. 
The candle comes with various material options (either with Poser9 SSS or without) and different flame looks.
It also comes with a "BurnDown" morph.
In addition, the zip contains a pz3 scene of the Menroah with all 9 candles in it - and with 9 point lights parented to each candle.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notes:
-----
1) You can load the Menorah and then how many candles you like and position them - then you can parent them
   to the Menorah, so that you can move it all together in your scene.
2) The flame is simply a texture and transparency map applied to one polygon of the candle mesh. 
   If you have parented the candle to the Menroah, and now rotate the Menorah in your scene, make sure
   you rotate the candle in the oposite direction, so that the flame faces the camera. Otherwise you'll
   get a "flat-polygon" look. (For example, if the Menroah is in y rotate of 30, roatete the candle to
   y rotate -30)
3) The Candle prop loads with the P9 SSS material on, so if you're using a previous Poser version, apply one of 
   the "CandlesNoSSS" materials.
4) Depending on your lighting, you might have to manually adjust the materials. For the SSS candles, simply
   play with the "Color" paremeter in the Scatter node (mesning, if your candle looks too bright, make the color darker).
4) The pz3 in the zip contains the candles with the P9 SSS material. All candles are parented to the Menroah
   prop, and each point light is parented to its candle. In addition, there is one IDL light and one Specular light.
5) The flames are best rendered with a dark background color behind them.
