Hello,
I have tried a number of splines, fields, and particles to try to have a lighting strike in the form of a person via a video input. Ideally it strikes at the top and works its way down in a somewhat random path. It doesn’t have to outline the entire person but the main physical features would be nice.
I’m still very new to notch and I’m fumbling through this to try to get it working. Is anyone able to help me down the right “path”?
Hi!
The way I work lightnings is with a particle generator and then picking some of that particles to create the spline. I made that with de 0.9, not the beta. When i tried to switch that patch to the beta the particle to piont nodes where lost, but i’m sure there is some way to do the same in the 1.0 but I haven’t time to look into that.
So the particles are creating the spline? How does that work?
The points of the splines are created with the Parent to Vertex node. A root particle system is conected to the source of PtV node and then you have to select the number of the vertex, I used the modifiers to do that.
