shiv_d Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Hi Vexosaur, I loved your tool and purchased it. I just have one problem though. The bolts change positions every frame. Is it possible that I can hold the position of the bolts for a few frames before they change again? Please advise. Thank you. Regards, Shiv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Shiv Hi Shiv, Thanks for the purchase, glad you are enjoying it. The resample lifetime controls how often the bolt will find a new contact point or do you want them to remain completely stationary for a few frames at a time?

Hi Vexosaur, I was them to remain completely stationary for a few frames at a time. Instead of changing position every frame, it should change every 3rd of 4th frame. Thanks!

Regards, Shiv To do that you will need to modify it a bit, if you allow editing of contents and then find the 3 noise attribute VOPs inside the for loop then add these two nodes and change the divide constant amount to change the speed it changes edit: you will also need to turn lift to zero Edited July 24, 2021 by Vexosaur More info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiv_d Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Hi Vex, I did exactly as you suggested by adding those two nodes inside the three noise vop nodes within the for loop but it doesn't change the speed. I just want each lightning bolt to stay for 3-4 frames before changing positions. Thanks and Regards, Shiv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would either need to make the emitter static or make the changes to how it sources the start points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiv_d Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 The emitter is not moving. I disconnected the animation channels. It is now static. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vexosaur Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 Try crank up the resample lifetime a bit and the lifetime variance down to 0 because that is working for me. You can also but a time shift with the expression in it to make it more drastic: rint($F/3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiv_d Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Where would I put the time-shift node? After the lightning tool node? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vexosaur Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 There or directly before or after the for loop, experiment a little till you get the look you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiv_d Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Okay, was just wondering because there are 3 for loops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vexosaur Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 The main one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
