As someone suggested, this material could actually be quite good to make candles.
Start Blender and open the 9931OS_07_start.blend
file:
Go to the Render window, and in the Sampling subpanel, click on the Method to sample lights and materials button to switch from Path Tracing to Branched Path Tracing. Enable the Square Samples item, and under AA Samples, set the Render value to
8
. Finally, click on the Pattern button to select the Correlated Multi-Jitter item.Save the file as
9931OS_SSS_translucent.blend
