animated lava
Hello , Iahve the need to make an animated lava texture and I was wondering how could I do ? I did one by hand bgut I took forever to just make 32 frames and it didnt look that good , I also tried a way to do it in 3dsmax , worked enough well but I dunno how to export as a tiling animated texture , so the problem is how to… -
Re: animated lava
The bottom two links are tutorials I wrote a long time ago, using the Material Editor in 3dsmax. Once you have the map animating the way you like, right-click on the map's main image and choose Render. I created this animated fire material a few years ago, all by just messing around with procedural textures in the Material… -
Re: animated lava
Muzz heh yea so simple but works great in a lot of engines. I also forgot that to grow the bubble you can animate the objects scale. You can also create simple plane that sits under the bubble that animates ripples. - Create a camera, set it to orthographic view so you're not getting any perspective or lens distortion. -… -
Re: animated lava
That's the right phase (the one highlighted in parameters) just in a different spot than I said because its a different material type. Make sure you didn't animate the phase in "noise". If noise is turned off that phase track won't show animation. You have a few tracks selected so it might be hard to edit the right curve.… -
Re: animated lava
cant find the bottom links :( ... Btw I have been doing this : make a material gradient ramp , then set up a bit the settings like this tough when I render it displays always the background , that I put green behind , but then I need to go into each frame and cut and then make a cut and paste work to make just the texture… -
Re: animated lava
Thankyou , the first tut I knew and I followed it , but then I dunno how to make a render out of it so that it just renders the lava animation instead also fo the outside borders , and as for the second two , it dont says what he is using to make , what tools , is still 3dmsax or what is? -
Re: animated lava
I didnt understand those much .... Here a quote : first of all , is this intended to be in 3dsmax? second , I tried to copy drag the material I did in a mix material in the two slots , then I tried to change the phase from 0 to 1 for the first and for the second I couldnt couse it doesnt takes -1 as instead is stated in… -
Re: animated lava
Yep 3dsmax. After Step 3 if it loops fine don't worry about the contrast correction (step 4). It only works for B/W materials anyway. Which you could do your lava in B/W and add a solid color overlay later I guess... To loop the phase: - Turn on Auto Key - Move the time slider to 30 - Set the phase to 1 for material 1 -… -
Re: animated lava
The fastest way is to create a procedural lava material, animate its properties so it loops, create a camera set it to orthographic and render out the frames. -
Re: animated lava
cool thanks but how I do now to make the animation tileable if I apply it on sided panels in a game? and how to make it loop without looking it bouncing?
