Lightning (Thunderbolt)

Smoerebroet

Hello,

i was looking in the deepest www for a tool that makes lightning easily, similar to tree generators.
I found a lightning generator for Cinema 4D aaaaaaaaaaand its animateable. Quite old, but good. (The natur of lightning will not change.)

Have fun. :)

I’ve definitely used that C4D file a couple times. I wonder if it would be possible to replicate, or at least mimic, that functionality within DS.

Not as versatile, but mcasual has 7 morph prop

Oh, ok, i thought it would be known here, but its nearly impossible to look up for double post. If you search for "lightning" there are to many "PC-Strikes" ;)
Anyway, i thought the same, if its possible to make a similar script for DAZ. I'm not sure if DAZ understand python. But even if not, i think its not to magical to adapt to other languages. The Question is, how can DAZ handle it. Its 's math and simulation ... maybe a dForce Stick would work? xD

I've seen that, but i miss the little tiny side arcs.
