Hi, In the Vue4 demo there's a short clip of a lava flow. Anyone know how that might be done or know of a tutorial? Thanks, Carl

As far as I can see we don't have it with the full Vue pro version. It is probably an animation of a terrain. Who made the animation? Phoul (Philippe Boyer) or Zoon (Adrian Farnsworth)?

Hmm..they claim at the end of the demo that everything was rendered in Vue4 Pro. I don't know who made it but I would like to contact someone there and find out. Any idea how you'd animate a terrain to do that? Thanks, Carl

Guitta, it is Bouyer (with an U) ;-)
I did the shot.
It is animated material like water tutorial of the manuel. That's all. Hum... at the back there is too an animated terrain for the funtain effect with animated material too.

Sorry for the misspelling Philippe. As demo users maybe don't have tutorials, here a little idea. Take a terrain (with lava), animate it to 3-5 seconds (i.e.), then open the material editor for the terrain material and change it to a different one. Vue will ask you then if you want to animate the terrain. Say yes. Then again create a new keyframe, change the material and so forth.

You find lava terrains in our backroom above. See free material and search for material by Zoon.

Thank you zoon! The lava mats look great and should work fine. One last hurdle. How do you get an object, e.g.lava flow, to follow the contours of another, e.g. mountain? Maybe you duplicate the object that the lava will flow over then clip it to size and raise it slightly? Off to experiment... Thanks, Carl

Off to experiment, that's good. I never have tried to do it:-)
