Lavascape – Volcano Generator for Blender

Lavascape builds complete volcanic scenes in one click: real-scale volcanoes, glowing lava flows, lava lakes, basalt columns, ash fields, steam vents and smoke. Pick one of 43 designs, from an erupting stratovolcano, a huge shield or a red scoria cone to a crater lake, a curtain of fire, a molten lava river or a basalt causeway, then change anything live from the sidebar.

Every volcano type

• 12 forms: stratovolcano, somma volcano, shield, fissure, cinder cone, lava dome, caldera, maar, plus close-ups of a lava field, a lava lake pit, basalt columns and a fumarole field
• Real proportions: kilometer-scale cones with craters, breaches, side cones, erosion gullies and old lava flows, or meter-scale close-ups

Lava that glows right

• Pahoehoe with ropy wrinkles, rough aa with clinker blocks and molten channels between crusted levees
• Lava lakes in craters and pits, with a torn crust and bright seams
• Emissive lava driven by a real temperature in Kelvin, tuned to look the same in EEVEE and Cycles
• Animated flow (on by default, no keyframes), plus glow lights that light the ground and the smoke

Basalt, ash and steam

• Hexagonal basalt columns as a stepping causeway or a sea-cliff colonnade, with moss
• Black ash, red scoria, grey ash, brown tuff and altered ground, with snow, grass and yellow sulfur
• Volumetric ash columns, steam, volcanic gas and lava fountains, bent by the wind

Easy to use

• Picture pickers for every visual choice and a gallery of all designs
• Surprise, Vary and Look buttons that always give a good result
• Photo-scanned PBR textures from Poly Haven, clean UVs and sensible face counts for games
• Each volcano is independent: editing one never changes a copy

Requires Blender 4.2 or newer. Tested on Blender 4.2, 4.5 and 5.2 LTS.
