Almost Out - candle set

I have been browsing SketchFab again, looking for inspiration and models I could use with Creative Commons.

I came across this candle by Dumokan Art, and it inspired me to make a little set where the candle is about to burn out; really good for storytelling I assume!

(tried to make the above GIF to demonstrate what I mean 😅)

Or just normal décor, of course!

As well as the three different heights of candle, I've also included one that's just the candle holder, so you can slot in your own candle! Of course, I recommend one from my "The Standard" set, №1 is what I've used in the picture above.

Each file has eight swatches; four colours with two variants each:

That's all for now, have fun, team!!!

Update 29/01/2026: Removed all light data from empty candleholder to prevent unwanted light.

Oh! Almost forgot:

if Ava didn’t wake up right after Sara (4X12)

If there is more to Ava being a clone

Sara’s gasp was heard over the quiet room, immediately after waking up, from her visit to purgatory she looked at Ava’s unconscious body. Now she awaits her girlfriend to wake up, she knew she will any moment now. A few seconds passed but there is nothing, Ava isn’t waking up. Panic starts to engulf Sara.

“No no no Ava Baby” she run to her said, tapping lightly on her cheeks “baby wake up” but Ava didn’t react. She’s still unconscious just like how she found her in that motel. “No we’ve passed it. We got out before…“ then it her, when she and Ava had that conversation about clones, is a minute left before whoever Tabitha comes. “Ava! Ava wake up” she shakes her a bit more this time, screaming her name over and over again with evident panic.

“Captain Lance you’re awake!” Gary says trying to stand from the floor. “wait why isn’t director sharpe not waking up?” when Gary concluded the reason why Sara was here and Ava isn’t he began to panic as well “Oh my god! No she cannot be trapped in that purgatory! What will I say to the bureau? Oh my gosh who will take her place? What if the pentagon shut us down because no one will replace her?” he continues rambling while Sarah keeps from waking Ava.

“Please Aves” she started to cry, she stopped Shaking the director and cupped her cheeks. Feeling like she’s losing the love of her life in her own hands. She’s slipping away and she cannot do anything about it. Sara placed her forehead against Ava’s “please come back to me Ava. Who am I going to go get a mattress with?” she said remembering what happened in the purgatory.

Ava can hear Sara, but the problem is she cannot see her. Sara is crying her name but she cannot do anything about it. She keeps on shouting Sara’s name but it seems like her girlfriend cannot hear her. “She cannot hear you, you know” someone said from behind her.

When she turned around, she saw a blonde man standing not far away from her. His hands on his back, and his clothes looking a little futuristic. “Who are you?” she asked but the man only smiled at him. A familiar smile that she cannot fathom why.

“You know who I am” was the only reply she got. Looking at his newly shaved face, something about him makes her feel comfortable, like she’d known him, her whole life. “you just don’t remember”

Her brows drew closer together, confusion evident in her face. “What- are you tabitha?”

A short laugh went out of his mouth, and he shook his head “I am not the demon who wanted to own your body. And this isn’t one of your purgatory” Ava took in her surrounding, he’s right it isn’t the warehouse she was a few moments ago. She’s inside a house, a too familiar household.  She walked around, and by the window learning that she’s in a farm house, with green meadows surrounding the whole house.

She was turned to the man to ask where exactly they were, but she saw him looking at a picture frame that he was holding. “she has the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. Even more beautiful than my wife’s.”

“Who?”

“My sister. I remember when I was younger, she will always be the one that makes me smile when I’m so down. When I became the father, she was so happy, maybe even happier than I when she met my son for the first time.” Seeing him smile, Ava can see the love he has for his sister. Whoever she is she’s lucky she has brother just like him. How Ava wished she had a family like him. “But she needed to go, she wanted to leave and it was all my fault. As much as i hate being the one interfering with her happiness, I cannot do anything. I needed to protect her”

“you’re telling me personal things about you, yet I don’t even know your name. Where are we and why the hell are you telling me this at the first place?” Ava said curiously.

He placed his hand at his side still holding the picture. Slowly he walked towards Ava, making her move a little backwards. “Do you have any idea where we are?” ava shook her head “we’re in my childhood home. The place I grew up with my sister” again she had no idea why he’s sharing this to her “because this is her safe haven. This is your safe place”
