Is my second time dealing with lava universe inspiration, doing a better work on terrain, and making more stones.

I thing is not very light, but repeating same stones, use same textures, and also a tiny house to sit and rest a bit.

Floating stones is not so big anymore, loading times where to long if the level is to big on my computer, I keep mountain only on lava land. 

I have implemented a green laser that points to a teleport place, that will be activated by Galen door script, as we approach, and some floating stones also use rotation free script. I made a modification on floating stone dynamic move script, by deactivating the auto-teleport, and trying to stop stones to rotate random excessively. 

Is not very polished implementation, but I did my best.
I have a couple of scripts to do, and make lava move.
But Im on my limit now.

Thank you all, and good work.

  About floating stones:

  
  As inspiration from some big inspiration on Grebenikov flying plataform and other OVNI effects facts captured in movies, using light intensity saturation on max, copy effects on my floating stones,  based on real inspiration, real reflections of what that could be.

  It seems that if a huge stone creates a displacement on water, Bigger stones creates displacement on air itself, on atmosphere.
  And if you place caves, a reverse-displacement of mass happens.
  If you lift two 1tone stones on each side of a lever on central point, or center of gravity,it will have 0G, so each stone will have zero weight, but if your own weight is exactly on cross point of two reverse-displacement caves, all you have to do is unbalance the equilibrium, from its central point using something, if we use a big trunk as lever on two stones, from two caves reverse displacement cross point, we should use light? CSE?

  The lever can be made of matter, being that plasma, magnetism or light, and your weight will be negative once in the cross point, all you probably need to do is unbalance the cave force with very little push, just like you do when you connect two stones lifted by a central lever, but on reverse. 

  Im not kidding.

  There is something there to find about.
  Floating stones shine my mind on something real and mysterious, like lava.

  But NASA is here, is not best place to talk about this..  :)

  Using my door script to trigger a transporter? Ug!

  May I suggest you get my free People sensor and Teleporter Reflex scripts? They work nicely and reliably together.

  You can also use the Sound emitter if you want to give a sound effect for it. And the Position toggle if you want to have some animated mechanical fingers or other objects that move around just before the teleport.

  Lava inspiration Lava River animated! Updated!

  I'm sure the glow and speed is right, and the color cannot be more red because the saturation on that level of exposure I like is inexcusable, but once we come with a native texture animation, I will be able to create a very high detail and yet bump mapped texture.
  
  So this is flowing lava. In very hot days/places, the up layer of lava keep melted and yellow.

  I know is not perfect.  I'm working on it, to begin from glowing.

  Now is animated lava, the video on lava cannot be that good because the seams would be pretty visible.
  I will do my own primitives/static stones with natural greay/black/glass look and enough displacement/normals. 

  It will take time

  Update:
  I'm having a huge issue. Sprint is here in Brasil. That means my PC overheat. My room reach almost 40 degreea celsius. My compiter freezes. I have also some minor health issues that does not let me work all day on front of my PC.
  But thanks sansar team for thr effort you inject on Sansar.
  And sorry not making use of all resources  you have ASAP.
  Over Scaling stones make my lava land level ugly. And media for animation was not the right decision. A hack that is not more necssary 

  But is lava hot here. I may slowly testing and making all updates/ modifications.
  I just cannot turn off my lava land without creating something much better.
  So I'm testing.
  I have made a test how I would substitute my Lava mountain with terrain.
  Most real volcanos have a crater that reach 4km extension.
  Just the crater.

  Quite few young volcanos from all Active ones I did research, one by one, can actually fit inside 4km squares
  Young volcano ones fit well.  I'm doing it like a young volcano. I will do it myself using Sandar terrain. But my computer struggles with 8x8 terrain.

  So I did one with 6x6 and framerate is below 10fp/s.
  The terrain build up is different from Unreal Engine/Unity/Mudbox/Zbrush. The lift and build up is too limited, so its hard to make a huge mounntain. I had to lift a bit and use hard strokes with high strenght planar while overheating PC at less than 10 fp/s all day.

  Now I have all fractal/fragmented and could be a nightmare to polish.

  My smoth brush is like zero strenght.

  My fault I want to use all height from that terrain, but brushes should not be so boring. I want to have more fun.

  But yet. Im loving it.I think I can deal with this. I will post my tests. Maybe I should not be.... But I'm proud of it.. :)
