Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold
This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

Hey so this looks like good progress but its not really clear what your tryign to achieve?

Off the bat the fire looks very noisy and high frequency and it won't really look right until you add smoke comming from the flames. What is this for, a showreel or just testing?

Either way I'd upload some reference that you're trying to match so that people can give more relevant feedback. If this is for a showreel you should think about texturing your wood and having the fire illuminate the model at render time. Ideally this should be in a shot context so maybe taking a photograph of a field with a HDRI and putting the shack in the environment.

I think it's comming on well!!
But you have some way to go before I'd call this final.
Here is some reference I can find:

I think to make this look real you need to have your fire simulation be the source and/ or effectors of your smoke simulation. Also you will need to have your fire as an illumnination source or it will look flat and broken.

There are areas where the flames are very slow and low frequency and the smoke comming off those areas are high frequency and going in a different direction.

Shading wise the smoke feels uniform and the fire too cool.
