Moving backgrounds/textures

Does anybody know how Greennc did the animated sky in his Lost Temples mod? Or how he did the lava flow looking thing in Mount Doom? In that one, he also had the bowl part of Ascension looking like a lava flow... like it was moving and everything.
I tried pm'ing him, but he didn't answer (maybe he hasn't been on the site recently).

those arent animated skins. They are shader swaps. You take t alphagasgiant ROB.shad, inject it into a MP map, then find the clouds bitmap fo it change that to anything u'd like, go tot hte SBSP tag, and find what you want to be animated, swap that shader for the alpha gas giant rob, and boom, a moving skin.

Thank you. I had started exploring in greennc's maps and had noticed that alpha gas thing but wasn't sure it was what I was looking for. I don't suppose the speed can be changed, can it?
