Here is another great tutorial from Peter Bowmar. So packed with tidbits and ideas, this Houdini Master goes deep into the procedural workings of this amazing software, all the while teaching you a real and very useful technique. A must have for anyone serious about learning the procedural power of Houdini.

here are my results from this lesson set.

after all the bugs were squashed i added a point attribute of 'width' to control the lightnings render thickness.

also, since the resample would blend the velocity between point 0 and 1, i thought it might also do the same with color (Cd) .

so i used a point color sop in the drone to make it white, added another attrib copy under getdrone and fed that in to the destination point.

then i added a point color just below the source point.

so the bolt color matches the drone color and gradients out to a blue impact point.
