So, I thought I would look at a new end trailer for 2024, still with the "fire" theme.
Rather than buy another one, I thought I would put me new MonstaPC to the test.
The new end trailer is a combo of the following three great tutorials:
Lava: • Procedural Rocky Lava Material (Blender Tu...
Liquid Text: • Text in geometry nodes is POWERFUL - Blender

A few fiddly bits when I had to work out how to mix displacements! Something must be clicking with this Blender stuff. Had to get that right since I had two textures mixed and had to have the displacement for the "freezing" lava fixed and the rocky crust moving. Once I worked that out, it all fell into place.
Very happy.
Now the examples in the vid are not the latest invocations. I remembered that when using cycles I had to use the compositor to add in glare, so the lava GLOWS now! I also simplified the scrolling freezing rock material but got the same or better effect. I am now setting the final video up as yet another option for my rolling intros.
