Thank you, EldritchCellar.

Rokket, that image you reposted is the swirly fire texture (well, one frame of an animated texture), not the lava texture.

Quietrob, yes.

I can't post big images, and I can't post GIFs. I have to post links to them. So, below, you will see bold italic names; these are clickable links.

cracked lava asymmetrical seamless tile (one frame; you'll need to look for the magnifying glass icon to expand the image, perhaps twice; there is another button to download it): cracked lava tile

If you can't do that (maybe you're not seeing links in your browser), here is a smaller tile of post-able size, frame 20 of the cracked lava sequence:

These will suffice for material setup testing. The way that I actually use them in final setups is that I use Genetica to generate a sequence of asymmetrical seamless tiles (I can make them any size, and change how many frames from start to finish). I can save the result as an AVI, a matrix, a GIF, or a numbered sequence of JPGs or PNGs. I choose sequentially numbered JPGs.

I put the set of sequentially numbered JPGs into a folder, maybe "lava set one", and put that folder into my runtimetexturesseachnasaigh folder. Nothing else goes into that "lava set one" folder.

Now it's ready to use. In the material room, I create a movie node instead of an image map node. In P9 (SR3.2) and later, you can load the first JPG of a numbered sequence into the movie node. As the Poser scene progresses through timeline frames, the movie node will read the JPGs in sequence.

So, In the lava material screengrabs, I would replace the image map node with a movie node to do an animation.

Anyway, both the swirly fire and the cracked lava have 30-frame folders, so I guess you'll have to wait until port to download the full versions.
