Lava Pit Lair

I wanted to experiment with creating the illusion of animation, so I made this lava pit that exploits a wobble in the rendering of large faces in combination with multiple layers of textures. The main lava texture is on a plane above the floor, and the light-yellow ripples that undulate over it are on the top of the cylinder that forms the room. When both are set to render first, they create a swirling pool of magma for the supervillain to lower some unlucky spy into.
