Lava? A Stormy Red Sky?

I'm making a mod which requires a jaunt into the Oblivion plane, but I'm having difficulties figuring out some of the nitty-gritty details involved in creating a World Space.

 

- I can create a new WaterType and tell it to be red all I like, but when I look at it in the render window, it never actually turns red like lava (unless I turn the sky red, and then the water reflects the red sky, but that's not going to look right in game).

 

- I can make the sky red, but the clouds don't change color at all and they just look strange against a dark backdrop.

 

Has anyone experimented with these features in the Creation Kit? If anyone can offer any assistance, it would really help. :thumbsup:

Thank you for the suggestion! It makes a much better base than the cloudy weather I was originally using. I figured out that you add color tints by making a new ImageSpace, and that's a slightly better way of making the environment and lighting red.

 

I think I might be able to work my way through the weather settings, but I'm still having issues creating lava. There's a default LavaWater Water Type, but despite the color values looking right in the settings, it just looks like normal water in the CK render window.

I've been getting closer to creating a glowing lava type with the CK water system. It's still far from actually looking like lava, but it's close enough - it looks a lot like the Oblivion red water 'lava'.

Remember that this is just the CK render view, not ingame. Ingame it looks plain and boring without waves. Really ingame it's just one shade of orange.
