Lightning Fast is a powerful combination of materials and blueprints that implement a wide range of realistic and stylized electricity effects. There are multiple ways of using the Lightning Fast in games and movies starting from lightning bolts in the background flashing lightning bolts during a storm through electric fences to the devastating lightning guns and spells. This system is designed in mind to achieve all those effects on high performance and AAA quality at the same time.
Supported effects:
- flashes/bolts/strikes
- beams/chains/splines
- discharges/electrocute/volume/fences
- trails/ribbons
Character skills:
- lightning gun
- lightning trail in the slow-motion run
- lightning AoE
- hit/electrocute reactions
The Lightning-Fast Mesh combined with Lightning Fast Material has some useful features and properties that are very important in VFX production.
- can be used with spline meshes
- can be scaled and keeps the proper shape
- can be used in particle system
- can be watched from every angle
Update 1.1
- Added network replication
- New ambient light in lightning bolts
