solved Making lava texture self lit?

[asperger]

I got the following setup for my mesh:

var box = BABYLON.MeshBuilder.CreateBox("box", {height: 5, width: 2, depth: 0.5}, scene);

var lavaMaterial = new BABYLON.LavaMaterial("lava", scene); 

lavaMaterial.noiseTexture = new BABYLON.Texture("img/noise.jpg", scene);

lavaMaterial.diffuseTexture = new BABYLON.Texture("img/diffuse.jpg", scene);

lavaMaterial.speed = 1;

box.material = lavaMaterial;

Now the problem im having is that I dont want any external shadows, lights or hemispheral lights to affect my mesh.
Instead I want my mesh to show the material even if I dont have any lights on my scene.

Is this possible? If so then how?

This would be interesting indeed. I will add tomorrow an unlit mode to the material.

That would indeed be cool. Thanks. At first I tried to add a PointLight but that didnt make it.

Welcome to the forum, asperger.  Nice feature idea, thx!  Thanks to Sebavan, too, for the mod consids/try.  I love animated materials.

Is there still a fire material in BJS?  Perhaps that needs the same mod?  *shrug*  Do we have animated clouds?  That, too?

I must say, I have not been a good animated materials fan-club member.  I should have all the animated materials well-memorized, but I don't.  Embarrassing on my part!   :)

The fire material actually works. I tested it. The lava material however isnt really working in respect to that matter.

Hey Sebavan, that is really cool and was really missing! I just encountered something by the way.
I dont know if it is a bug or a limitation but if you increase the size of the mesh the lava vertex distortion effect becomes less visible (less waves). The bigger the less of an effect the lava material has. Do you think thats normal? I think one of the variables that affect the distortion amount in the vertex shader is a constant or something.

[Sebavan]

you might need to add more subdivision or you will have less vertex moving.

[asperger]

Yep. You are right.
