“This tool generates Lightning from curves and meshes with full artistic control.”

There are three lightning generators:

1. Lightning Generator: It generates 2D/3D lightning from a curve with multiple splines.
2. Surface Lightning Generator: It generates lightning on a mesh surface or objects. Lightning can be controlled with a curve with multiple splines.
3. (NEW) Volume Lightning Generator: It generates lightning in the volume (also near the surface) of mesh or objects. Lightning can be controlled with a curve with multiple splines.

Features:

• Realistic Lightning: Craft lifelike lightning effects effortlessly.
• Intuitive Control: Easily manage lightning with 3D space curves, mesh surface placement, or mesh volume placement.
• Curve Precision: Utilize curves to govern lightning direction, spread, branches, and more.
• Spline Lightning: Generate lightning for each individual curve spline.
• Customizable Lightning Cores: Define the core(s) of your lightning effects.
• Curve-Following Flow: Make lightning flow seamlessly along curves.
• Interactive with Objects: Enable lightning interaction with external objects through Attract-Objects and Repel-Objects settings.
