Lava Question

[R8Sephiroth8P]

How do you make lava all disturbed and waving? It's not realistic when its all flat in calm. So I want to know how do you give it a rippled/rough rising and falling effect? (like the ocean) I've seen it done in another map, so could someone tell me how you do this?

This is the shader i used for my map. the bit that makes it move up and down is deformVertexes wave 200 sin 1 10 1 0.1

that makes the volume of a brush appear to move. you also need tessSize in there. that tells you how much detail the waves have.

Ok, but how do I use what you just gave me to alter/create the shader? Also, i'm using the korriban lava, but I don't know if that makes a difference.
