Very nice explosion on top!
I agree about the explosion - looks good.
The top of this volcano (eruption) is perfect! (http://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/Respect/aplausos.gif)
You used a cloud to do this?
Thx for the comments.
The eruption is made of 3 elements:
1: a "normal" 3d cumulus cloud
2: 3d cumulus clouds with a very small scale (the red lava drops)
3: a strong light source inside the crater
Both cloud layers are controlled by the same painted shader.

Very impressive. One suggestion - another cumulus that is much darker, suggesting smoke.
Very creative :D
