FXLover Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) Hi guys, Did anyone try to create multiple lightning tool only in SOP level? I know that L system helps a lot in lightning things but if i want to do it only in SOP level how will i proceed so that if a user enters the number of lightning he wants then the lightning randomly gets generated onto the desired camera area? The main problem i am facing is to generalize the whole tool for "n" number of lightning with different shapes and different number of branches and sub-branches.. Thanks, Priyanshu Edited September 24, 2012 by priyanshu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annon Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 LSystems is in SOPs... You could use poly lines with noise in a forloop or copy sop, the number of points to instance to being how many "bolts" you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankit Sinha Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 You could use $CY value to randomize the the shape with help of noise addition to shape, you can also use switch to shift between preset shape (with fixed number of branch for each) and can randomly shift on propagation of each.
