Hi all,

Does anyone here know how to create realistisc lightning effects ?

I would assume you would have a variance term like -5 to 5 on the x axis, and shoot random length lines (y) downwards using random numbers between -5 and 5 for x coords ?

This is assuming the lightning is shooting downwards.
