A candle that will burn up(reduce in length)

#1

Hey there thanks for checking this out.
I’m not entirely sure if this is the right place to ask this but I hope so :).

So my problem. I’ve to make a candle that will burn up like actual candles do but in game (unity5).
I can think of 2 ways to do this.

  1. Just adding 2 joints and scaling down the candle. However I’m afraid that this will look bad, as it will just kind of compress and it’ll look static. But it’ll be fast and fairly easy.
  2. I would make about 3 blend shapes 1 max 1 middle and 1 pretty much burned up. This should be supported by unity 5. But I don’t have experience with blend shapes so I don’t know if this will work all that well.

which of these methods do you think would work best or do you have a better suggestion?

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:
