Hi.
Does anybody know how to make lightnings/electrical charges like the one in the attached image?
I have tried PFlow with FindTarget operator but maybe there’s a smarter way to make a lot of electrical charges from specific points on a mesh too specific
points on another mesh…
Maybe someone knows of a great tutorial?

PS: I’m going for animation not still image.

Gratefull for any help.

Second time around, I found this useful:

http://area.autodesk.com/for...rticles-following-a-path/

The search term I used to find it was “electricity”. And I used this forums’ engine.

The attachment opened in 3DsMax 2010.

Progress.
