+    "text": "Hi everyone, welcome to our lava tutorial. So one thing that I forgot to mention on the last tutorial is to set the game mode off the level to third person game mode. So what you're going to do is you're going to go to the world settings right here and you're going to go to game mode and instead of non, you're just going to make sure the third person game mode is selected over there. Perfect. Now we also don't need this character anymore, so we can just get rid of him. Awesome. So let's create before we actually begin our lava material, let's just create a simple cube or a simple little plane right here that is going to serve as the starting point of our character. So it can just drag the cube around. I'm going to scale a little bit just serves like a platform so the character can start somewhere. There you go. I think this is a good enough level. Maybe I'll just decrease it a little bit. Perfect. And what I'm going to do now is I'm going to hit create and I'm going to grab our player start right here. Let's just make sure that it we press and so it snaps with the terrain. Perfect. And if we hit play, we're going to start right here. As you can see, it's a little bit on the camera is actually overlapping a little bit. So let's move this rock backwards. Let's push this player a little bit to the front. And there you go. We have a great starting scene. As you can see, there's a couple of holes here in the scenario. So let's fix that by adding some of the other rocks that we have. There you go. So it looks like it's immersive on some sort of rocky terrain. Perfect. So what we're going to do now is we're going to grab all these rocks that are right here, the world outliner. We're going to organize them by grouping them together. So we're going to select them all and we're going to, so you're going to right click, you're going to say move, move to create new folder. And let's type in rocks. Let's minimize them. So they're all organized here. And if we need to mess around with them, we can just do here. Perfect. All right. Looking good looking fresh. So what we're going to do now is work on our lava. So now we need a lava plane. So basically a lava plane here that we'll have the lava texture that is going to cover the ground. So let's do that for now. So what we're going to do is we're going to go to our create button right there, go to shapes and let's go to plane. So here we have our plane. So let's scale this up by a lot. So it covers the entire scene. Let's press W. And let's gently put it down just a little bit above the ground. This is great. Perfect. You know, you can adjust here by using the scale to again, just decrease a little bit the size, press W and drag it. This should be good. This should be really good, actually. So now we're going to start creating our lava material. So again, make sure you have the you have all the starter content prepared here that comes with the level. And you should have all there. So if you created the project correctly, if not, you can just add it back again just by pressing the add button. But cool. So what we're going to do now is we're going to create a new folder called materials, double click it. We're going to create a new material. So right click material and let's name it lava. Awesome. So let's double click on our lava material. Cool. So on our lava material, what we're going to do now is import some of the textures that we're going to be using for the lava. So let's open the content drawer. Let's press content and let's search for fire. And we can also use this filter right here. So it only shows textures. Perfect. So we have the fire tile right here. Let's drag this. And we're also going to use a basalt normal map to make the lava effect. So let's search for basalt. So rock basalt, we just want the normal map right now. Perfect. Now you're gonna duplicate this lava texture because we're gonna need two lava textures to create a kind of like motion movement to the texture. So what we're gonna do now is we're gonna connect normal texture to our normal and we're gonna hold off on the other ones for now. So let's go ahead and start adding the scaling nodes right here as you learned in the previous tutorial. So let's add a texture coordinate. And I actually want one texture coordinate for each one because I'll be changing the settings on one of them. So let's duplicate, duplicate. In the middle one right here, we're gonna change the UV tiling to five. Perfect, I think that's good. And let's grab our multiply nodes. So let's duplicate using control W. And let's add one constant of scale. It's gonna be our universal constant. So let's convert to parameter scale. Let's connect that to all the B nodes of the multiplier because we're multiplying that. Perfect. Let's add the texture coordinates to the a section. Okay, looking good. And now what we're going to do is we're going to get a pattern. Now the pattern allows us to do is to actually move the texture using your coordinate function. So we're going to grab three of those and we're going to I forgot to set our scale to the fall value. Let's say let's say two for now. And then I hit apply again. I actually just want this to preview. So as you can see, I want the preview to be the default value. So let's say two for now. And then I hit apply again. I actually just want this to preview. So as you can see, I want the preview to be happening so I can real time see the scaling of this changing. So as you can see, this one is a lot smaller and the vertical is wrong. It's not the same as the horizontal axis. So let's just click back on our texture coordinate that it's related to that. And let's change the v tiling to five, two. And that way, if you unplug this coordinate and then you plug it back in, there should be should be the same texture, but yeah, reduced it by a lot. Perfect. And let's do the same here for the normal map just so we can get a preview of what's looking like. Awesome. So now we're going to do is we're going to grab our multiply. And we're going to grab another constant using selecting one and pressing. And this is going to be the brightness of our lava. So we're going to convert this to a parameter. It's going to be our brightness. And this is just going to take from the RGB of this texture and the brightness for B. Perfect. We also want to add another multiply node right here. And I'll explain why in just a second and we're gonna connect and multiply in our emissive color. There you go. As you can see the lava just started to take a lot more shape and let's set the brightness of course to five. Much better. You can see all the colors flowing and it's looking nice. It's looking nice. So for our panors right here, so the texture can actually start moving. We're going to set the first one to, let's say, 0.007. We're going to set the second one to about 0.1. And we're going to set our last one to 0.01. And also, it's always the speed axis, so we want it to move on the horizontal axis. Perfect. And if you want to change the rotation, you just add a negative in front. And that should do it. So right now, as you can see, the lava is moving. The normal map is moving on different speeds. And our other texture is actually moving on another speed too, which works greatly. So now what we're going to do is we're going to grab the red of our normal maps and the red of our bottom texture. And we're going to add them together. So we're going to select an add here. So before we add right here, we're going to add a LERP, which is the linear interpolation. Where is it? Right here. And we're going to set our A value to minus one and our B value to 1.8. We're going to connect the red to the alpha and we're going to connect the output to add. And this ad right here is going to be the one connecting to our multiply. And as you're about to see our texture has now this mask with the basalt. And that's what we were working on right here. And it looks really, really good. So let's apply this and let's click save. And let's see how it looks in our planes. Let's open our content browser. Let's select our plane. And let's search for our material called lava. And let's drag, drag it on the plane. And as you can see, it looks gorgeous. And the lava moves. As you can see, there is one that is moving super slowly, the other one is moving fast. And the black here kind of like gives the impression like magma or like the lava that is already a bit dry. And yeah, this actually looks good. Awesome. So before we go, let's go ahead and turn the scene into nighttime so we can actually see how it's looking. So let's press Ctrl L. Let's drag it all the way down. And as you can see, this is looking fantastic. So let's hit play. And as you can see, it actually looks like we're in the middle of a volcano or something like that. Yeah, it's it's looking pretty good. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and I'll see you in the next one.",
