Back to Midwinter

Credits

Vesperine Candle Co. and Midwinter are invented for this demonstration. Nothing here is for sale, and no real candle maker's name, mark, words or photographs are used.

How it was made

The candle, jar, label and room were modelled and lit in Blender 4.2 and rendered with Cycles. The label artwork was set in HTML and photographed onto the jar as a texture. The scroll film at the top of the page is 96 of those rendered frames. The candle you can blow out is the same model, running live in your browser with three.js.

Open-source code

• three.js, MIT licence.
• The flame shader is adapted from THREE.Fire by typeWolffo, MIT licence; the notice is kept in the shipped code.
• The Blender scene follows patterns from blender-python-toolkit, MIT licence.
• Typefaces: Cormorant Garamond and Geist, SIL Open Font Licence; Pinyon Script on the label artwork, same licence.
