How to make a volcano in Paint.NET?

[Lucifer[93]]

Hello everybody,

my "simple" question is: How can i create a realistic eruption of a volcano on top of a mountain ?

One time this

and also this on another image

[Wilson]

Yeah, but those are photos....

[toe_head2001]

Yeah, but those are photos....

The first photo could be done.

Photos yes, but I want to "make" an erupting volcano on top of a hill AS possible as on these pictures. I know that these pictures show reality but my question is clearly:

1.Can I do an ash cloud probably good like on the second photo?

2.Can I do lava exploding from a center of a picture?

So I need a bit of instruction what effects and when i should use them to generate this.

EDIT:

Here also shown in Photoshop:

Does anyone know something?

[LJXD]

Yeah, try this

1. Fill a layer with black and then make a new layer.

2. Grab your brush size and make large dots of Red, Orange, Yellow and a little bit of white halfway between the middle and the bottom of the canvas

3. Run zoom blur from the bottom on a desired setting.

I'll start you from there muck around with some more effects and adjustments to get you on your way. Hope it helped

Sorry, but that does not really helped me, i know what you mean except how big the dots should be...

But know i want to try something different from a "exploding" volcano. You know the lava of the volcano that flows down over the ground. Is that possible to make it from a existing river?

So making a river to a lava that flows?

[Lucifer[93]]

So the thing I want to try out

Making the river in the middle to a yellow-red and realistic lava flow and the area outside black with ash

most of the stuff your talking about is possible but it will take experimentation.
