Crater.
I like the mood.
Maybe just a little glow where the smoke comes from ?
How do you mean? The base of the column is glowing a bit (spotlight and some very light red 'flames' in the cloud itself). I didn't want to overdo it.
Also tried to get a low smoke layer masked by the lava remnants, but I could get the cloud to follow terrain.
Nice. Smoke looks pretty thick already. Was thinking dense smoke might be one of those cases where a small negative value for Param C might look right*.
*I just tried a few tests. The cloud shadows remain very blue when using neg values, regardless of chosen cloud color, so not very useful.

Because of possible more dust around the crater i just expect a little more light around the clouds.
But it is subjective and the image looks good as it is Ulco.
Ah, that's what you mean. Thanks. I'm not pursuing this, actually, I was thinking, it's a waste of time. Smoke columns like this can better be done in other apps, much easier. And the terrain was just something I wanted to test (and things grew from there, as usual); adding a smaller scale alpine fractal on top of that crater to get some erosion-like features.
Up to something else....
Something absolutely different today! Very very cool Ulco! I like it!
Interesting experiment. I agree about creating 'Pyroclastic' effects in other apps, but TG may surprise all of us at some point. Cool image!

we do work similar, that just how Banyan Swamp started and has consumed endless daze...er days...er both
