Discover a unique and fully interactive lava simulator ! Watch eruptions and lava flows across the stunning landscapes of Réunion Island. This simulation was co-created in 2016 with Eric Chahi, the renowned author of Another World, From Dust, and Paper Beast !
The simulator lets you interact in real time with eruptions in photorealistic, dynamic environments, revealing a wide range of volcanic structures, from lava fields to cones creation ! Create new eruptive fissures, control flow rate, temperature, pressure, and observe the evolution in beautifully rendered 3D landscapes !
The application is powered by a custom-built graphics and physics engine, specifically designed for this simulation and using the incredible computing power of GPUs !
Useful Keyboard Shortcuts • Mouse, middle button : move the camera from the observer’s point of view • Alt + middle button : rotate the camera • C or double-click : center the camera on the selected point • Break : start / pause the simulation • Escape : open the main menu, with access to scenarios and graphic settings
