Instantly generate art-directable, animated electrical arcs along any curve.

Stop manually modeling and animating complex electrical effects. This Geometry Node setup allows you to draw a standard curve in the viewport and instantly generate dynamic, highly customizable lightning strikes, electrical arcs, and energy beams.

Key Features:

100% Procedural & Art-Directable: A completely non-destructive workflow. Draw, extrude, and manipulate curves to guide the exact path of the lightning to hit specific targets in your scene.
Plug-and-Play Animation: Ready-to-render animation parameters are built directly into the modifier panel. Control the speed, jitter, and branching behavior without touching a single keyframe.

Customizable Parameters: Easily dial in the bolt thickness, branch density, emission intensity, and randomness to fit any art style—from realistic storm clouds to stylized sci-fi energy weapons.

Optimized Performance: Clean node architecture designed for fast viewport performance and quick render times in both Eevee and Cycles.
