Lava?

I was trying to make the Nether in Terragen but I can't find (or remember) any good "realistic" cracked lava tutorials.
P.S. I don't want this post spammed with, "I can't seem to find any either."
EDIT: Also on a completely unrelated note can you invert the normals of a planet for the "ceiling" of a global cave system?

To invert the planet surface, just use a negative number instead of a positive value in the radius.
You might find this thread useful, not as instructions for building a cave but on how to get a 'roof' on the planet in general.

Three things, one thanks for the ceiling/cracks, two how can you change the color of the cracks?, and three this might turn into a thread to help me with this project.

I don't know about cracked lava, but this works nicely for molten rock.
They just issued a tornado warning and said to stay away from windows. Does that mean I can't use my computer?

Can you post an image of this? I'm not quite sure what is occurring to cause it to render as black and white.

There are all kinds of great lava examples here. Volker made one for me called CALICOS FIRE, if you can find it - a full-on example.
So this is Disney World. Can we live here?
