http://www.atomic-3d.com/RK_Volcano_Eruption_01.zip (http://www.atomic-3d.com/RK_Volcano_Eruption_01.zip)

Using Basic C4D 8.5+BP2
working on getting 9+Bundle.

It's a Volcano Erupting.
I'm RTFM.learning as I go.but still pretty much clueless about what I am doing.

StefanB was killer getting me started maken a Volcano shadier.

Q_1
Now I need to animate the Volcano shadier so most of the lava starts at the top and flows down the Volcano.
any suggestion on how to do this ?

Q_2
Do not have Pyro only Basic C4D 8.5.
Any one have any suggestions on how to get Basic C4D Emitters to make these ?

Hi Rorrkonn

There's a tut in the latest 3DWorld mag about doing lava.

Have a play with the fire shader as it's animated and does good effects. You can also use lights as particles from the emitter to get some very cool fire and lava like effects. Metaballs work a treat as well for flowing liquid.

Cheers

Hello Nigel from TS forms.:wavey:

Ah don't get 3D World.

Been terrorizing the command,menu manager.sorta lost in C4D.
R'enTFM still can't figure out a way to make Emitter smoke.
done about everything else thou.
think I might make a Lava monster with meatballs.
still not a clue about maken a animated lava shadier the flows down the Volcano.
could make the shadier with DarkTree but want to see what C4D shaders can do.
would prefer to use just one App.
guess I could use meatball lava flowing down the volcano.
for now it's just a lot of guessing,trial and error more error then anything.:banghead:

There's a cool little free plugin called Fizz that I've seen do drips of water running over objects. you may be able to do something similar.

Sounds like you're trying to start with the complicated stuff first!!

Any App can do easy scenes.
Know how good C4D is at modeling,mapping,rigging.
Want to test the rest before I commit time,money to C4D.

Thanks for the tip about Fizz
