[3DMax R6] how to make Lavatexture

[Razorhawk]

Hi all

With the title you know what i want
At first i found 2 links how to make a lavatexture


1 . 3D Luvr.com

2 . Symbiont from Darksim

1.)

I found this Tutorial for a realstic texture but at the frist steps of it i saw the problem. There you need the procedural Map "Mercury" (from Ishanti) to make this texture but the map is only for Max R3 and not compatible to r6
--> Here is my first question:
Is there a chance to get this map for Max R6 and if not how can i maybe modify the map-plugin. I mean what program is needed to make such plugins for max?

2.)

This doesn't look really good and its not animatable (mmhh right word? dont know *g*). The only thing i can ainmate there is the Y and X offset of the texture (not wht i want).


My main question is: Does anybody know another tutorial for such a texture or does anybody know how to make?
