  • Being able to create your own electricity VFX assets and customize them is a good trick to have under your belt. So in this tutorial, we will be making dynamic electricity FX all within Blender.
    Iridesium has a Discord with a VIP section where you can find the tutorial files for each video.

  • @funkypartyweasel
    @funkypartyweasel 4 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    Thank you for the useful reference. For 2.82 folks may find it easier to make a thin plane rather than reducing it down to a line of vertices as extruding has changed. Some of the values in various modifiers and shaders have also changed, so you may need to experiment with the numbers, but the basic ratios in the tutorial between displacement and texture instances still hold. I found myself ending up with a more coiled lightning effect rather than the jagged lightning in the video - reminiscent of the Ghostbuster's particle thrower, and a basis for further experimentation. Using different texture types yields some interesting results for example.
    The key take away for me was using weight painting on some of the displacement mappings on the beam, which gives lightning arcs more character.

    • @aneesh1701
      @aneesh1701 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I tried to follow this tutorial in blender 2.8 and failed miserably. I'm a beginner and I have made a broad sword. I want the lightning the strike the broadsword and kindof stay around like the sweeping floor example. I made the sword on my own but I'm looking for a blender 2.8 tutorial. Iridium makes the best tutorials but this one is pretty outdated since blender changed a while ago

    • @funkypartyweasel
      @funkypartyweasel 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Have a look for Tesla Coil Lightning tutorial - that can build on some of the elements here. It's also a 2.7 tutorial IIRC, but most of the features track. From that you may be able to make lightning that uses the shrinkwrap modifier to get the effect you want.

    Amazing tutorial! I was wondering how to change the textures through time which is used for modifiers (so coordinates can't be changed by nodes like a texture for materials) and you just made this video! I'm really happy because of it 😁 i would like to make a symbiote from "Venom" movie, so this will be usefull i think. Also you other tutorials are great! I made a tesseract and time stone with your tutorial about volumetrics (not so original, in fact you showed the renders of them, but didn't show how you made them). Keep up the good work 😉

    This is the best I've seen for Blender. However you mentioned you did the glow in After Effects - for anyone that has access to this I would just do my electricity in AE cause it has a lightning generator with adjustable forking and you get much better results in my opinion.

    You could in theory use the same Lightning trick to recreate Kylo Ren's Lightsaber effect. The Red Lightning at 13:05 almost has the similar distortion if not using the middle offset displacement. I'd love to see that effect on a lightsaber hilt.

I think it has to do with location, rotation, and scale not changing, but merely the dimensions of the object. Would appreciate any insight you can provide. Thanks.

    Hello sir, I've been watching your videos a lot lately because I am a blender artist like yourself, and I was shocked to see how small your view count was in most of your videos, as well as how low your subscription count is. I suggest, for the advancement of your channels career, that perhaps you make your videos a bit more interesting. For example, make a video based on how to create something from a popular movie, like the surface of the moon from "First Man", or the infinity gauntlet, anything that's popular among creators and media. I look forward to watching more videos from you, and the expansion of this channel.
    also you have the coolest intro I've ever seen.
