Even Better Lava!

Hey Everyone,
      So I was playing Darksiders and saw their lava in game and realized their lava looks a lot better than mine so I've been working on mine even more! I definitely like it more than the other lava!

Now With Video!

Hey all,
       I created a video of my material working, the video is a bit laggy but it gets the point across. Hope you enjoy it!


Lava Material

Hey everyone,
          I decided to take a break from my Castlevania environment for a few days and I'm working on this lava material in UDK, here's pretty much the finished product. In the material, the lava moves and flows through the rock. Hope you like it!
