Volcano Simulator - Reunion Island
A unique and interactive lava simulator ! Interact in real-time with eruptions in photo-realistic and dynamic environnements. Create eruptions, control flow, pressure, temperature, and see the result in beautifully rendered 3D landscapes !
A unique and fully interactive lava simulator !
Feel the power of the earth and understand its dynamics.
Simulator co-written by Eric Chahi, the creator of From Dust and Another World !
The application has been installed since 2014 at the 'Cité du Volcan' museum in Reunion, which wishes to present highly interactive applications to their visitors.
This simulator allows the user to interact in real-time with eruptions in photo-realistic and dynamic environnements, revealing many structures, from lava field to cones creation !
Create eruptions, control flow, pressure, temperature, and see the result in beautifully rendered 3D landscapes !
The application is based on a new graphics and physics engine using the high computing power of latest graphics cards.

Reviews
“Lava flows are particularly realistic and night vision is spectacular !”
Le quotidien de la Reunion, 2014
“You can divert the lava flow, warming or cooling lava... watching the scene by day or night ... The flow follows with extreme precision the profile of the "Piton de la Fournaise" and each new "creation" can live several hours !”
Le Journal de l'Ile, 2015
“...you will be surprised by the level of realism. Eruptive crack ended for example by focusing eruption on a single point to create a volcanic cone. You can also see rocks being carried away by a lava flow.”
