I have been mucking about trying to get a decent electrical discharge animation.
I don't think I am satisfied with it yet, and would like to get a few opinions.
So, any comments or criticisms are more than welcome.

Nice stuff. How did you do the lighting - radiosity or a moving light?

I'd love to see the code for this...

Thank you. Your suggestion led me to some interesting sites. Some of them had RL
bolts that looked like mine, some not. I'll just have to keep trying...

Thank you. About 50 (overkill:-) moving lights made up the lighting, with no rad.

I'll tidy it up over the weekend and post it early next week if you like. It's
pretty simple, just some spheres and cylinders... I think some of my inspiration
came from lightning you had done a while ago.

Just bear in mind that messing around with Tesla Coils without knowing 
exactly what you're doing has lots of opprtunities to clear a little 
section of the gene pool.  Unless you've already bred...

Bye for now,
