Ok, This really took me an hour. I learned some interesting things about terrains though!

It's been a while since we were doing these in hard earnest so here's a short (underground) refresher. 10 Minute challenges are short quick projects that anybody can post/start for fun. They usually result in people posting some images and trying out new ways to solve issues in new and creative ways for all of us to learn from. There are no judges, just fun. You don't HAVE to finish your project in 10 minutes, just not days. Post your results in the thread where it was initiated. I'm anxious to see other peoples volcanos! -Kix

Nothing much. 15-20 minutes. Think I'll add a few things later. Like smoke. Spend 15-20 more.

Lava shader from the browser in RDS 5.5

Very Nice!

Her is my wak at it. It isn't as nice as the others but I shure liked it.

Here is my image again. I got some hints from Kixum, added some smoke with the cloder and reshaped my particles.

Here is another version. I fixed that anoying line thingy in the mountain by smoothing the terrain and added some better ripples to the lava as well as turned on the aura. All thanks to Kixum and his great help. THANKS KIXUM!!! :)

Here is an image that took approximately 20 minutes. Kind of a cool subject and I think I will work on it some more. If anyone has a minute could they let me know if the image is too dark, I think my monitor is fading or is calibrated incorrectly - appreciate the input. memaci

Me again. Apparently I have bigger problems than a dark image, on my browser I only get an image icon instead of the rendered image. Not certain what I am doing different than previous posts. The only thing that has changed is I upgraded to Photoshop 6.0 from 5.0 for the Mac, but there doesn't seem to be too many different options in the save dialouge. Any insights into this dilema would also be appreciated. Thanks - memaci

Make sure you're getting your upload targets set correctly in the posting form. I'll ask around if we're having any problems on the site. If you don't hear from me, I couldn't figure it. Give it another try to see if you can post. -Kix

memaci- Make sure to save the image without a Mac "resource fork". If here is an option to save as "web-ready" use that. I normally use GraphicsConveter to save jpg's as it has that feature.

A little late but here is my volcano. Thanks for the input about files. memaci

Nice volcanoes everybody!
