Realistic magma material

To prepare for the release of custom materials. i wanted to start creating my own little collection of materials to use right when the release happens.

This material is magma themed. without keeping this long. here is a preview !
hope you like it !

The making of the material

i found a good rocky displacement map that i wanted to use. so i transformed that displacement map into a mesh. did some of my own sculpting to the material. then baked it on a plane to generate the new displacement and generate a normal map.

After that i did some regular texturing to the material. and took the time to make the lava accurate. using an emissive map.

I hope you guys like it !

Looks like what you see in the microwave when you put a Cadbury’s Creme Egg inside. In other words, that is a really good custom magma material (you might want to call it that instead of volcano).

i actually had the displacement map from a collection and forgot where i got it from.
but texture is fully made from scratch after the sculpting bake

I get mine from Textures • Poly Haven
