Smokey Crater

[mr-miley]

I haven't posted anything in ages  so here goes... I was having a play with the crater shader thingy as I've never mucked around with this before. I know the rim is too pronounced at the front. I thought that the smoke came out alright though. I may have a go at adding a glowing something in the bottom of the crater... then again, maybe I wont

Yes, the smoke is very sulphurous. A glowing thing at the bottom does sound like an idea. The surfacing is good.

Add some more displacement to the rim perhaps?

At the Moment I have no sense of scale, to my eyes it looks like a rather small crater that one could cover with his foot, how was it supposed to turn out? The smoke indeed looks natural

[Zairyn Arsyn]

Yes, the smoke is very sulphurous.

my thoughts exactly, stinky!!!!

[mr-miley]

Hi all. Ta for the comments. MacGyver, I agree, but I'm not too sure what too add to help with the scale. In all fairness to me, this was more a mess about with the crater shader, cause I hadn't used it before... that's my excuse, & I'm sticking to it 

Anyway, here is a new version, in the dark with some lava at the bottom. It didn't have as much effect on the smoke as I thought so I may do some more to this...

looks good Miles,  what about some little guys in protective suits? (like this: http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-model-man-protective-suit/323603 but cheaper!!!)

[Henry Blewer]

A couple of Marc Gebhart's dead pines would help with the scale also.

Now that looks really good. Very realistic lava.

Great work on the molton rock shader. HOT!
