From the lecture today, it made me realise that Sandbox has endless possibilities when it comes to creating real time interactive environments. It has opened my mind to the idea of creating my environment to be completely different from everyone elses. I hope to create a lava stream running down from a volcano in my model as the background environment to add exceptional effect. I have never done anything like this before with Crysis so it will be interesting to see if I can pull it off - not to mention it will be pretty cool. I know in order to make the lava particles go up in the air I can simply set a waterfall particle object and place it several times upside down, angling it etc..but the hard part will be creating a stream which runs down the side of the mountain. If I can somehow figure out how to change the river tool to create a red flowing lava river, I think it will look pretty awesome.
