Pixel-art lava flow with glowing cracks

Generate a tileable pixel-art lava tile at a chosen art resolution: dark crust plates with lit and shadowed edges over glowing cracks with a pale core, or crust islands in a bubbling lava lake, with an emissive map and per-pixel normal, height, roughness and occlusion maps. Use for volcanic 2D game levels.

Limits to consider

A still frame of stylized pixel art, not a flow simulation, and it does not animate; for motion, cycle seeds or shift the emissive strength. The glow is a fixed three-step colour scale of distance to the plate border, not a temperature model, and the albedo also holds the glowing colours so the tile reads without lighting. Plates are Voronoi cells. Emission strength is set in the engine; the map holds colour only. Output sizes that are not a whole multiple of art_pixels give art pixels of unequal widths. Occlusion is a blurred-height estimate posterized to eighths.
