Can someone direct me to a tutorial to create lightning effects similar to Hitfilm? I thought I seen one in the past but I can't seen to locate it anymore.

Hi John.

Here's something really Q&D to get you started... :-)

Code: Select all: { Tools = ordered() { Rectangle1 = RectangleMask { Inputs = { SoftEdge = Input { Value = 0.04, }, MaskWidth = Input { Value = 2048, }, MaskHeight = Input { Value = 1556, }, PixelAspect = Input { Value = { 1, 1, }, }, ClippingMode = Input { Value = FuID { "None", }, }, Width = Input { Value = 0.829411764705882, }, Height = Input { Value = 1.13871477849061, }, }, ViewInfo = OperatorInfo { Pos = { 165, 82.5, }, }, }, FastNoise1 = FastNoise { Inputs = { Width = Input { Value = 1280, }, Height = Input { Value = 720, }, ["Gamut.SLogVersion"] = Input { Value = FuID { "SLog2", }, }, XScale = Input { Value = 11.047619, }, SeetheRate = Input { Value = 1, }, Gradient = Input { Value = Gradient { Colors = { [0] = { 0, 0, 0, 1, }, [1] = { 1, 1, 1, 1, }, }, }, }, EffectMask = Input { SourceOp = "Rectangle1", Source = "Mask", }, }, ViewInfo = OperatorInfo { Pos = { 165, 115.5, }, }, }, FastNoise2 = FastNoise { CtrlWZoom = false, Inputs = { Width = Input { Value = 1280, }, Height = Input { Value = 720, }, ["Gamut.SLogVersion"] = Input { Value = FuID { "SLog2", }, }, XScale = Input { Value = 5.5238095, }, SeetheRate = Input { Value = 1, }, Type = Input { Value = 1, }, Color2Red = Input { Value = 0.2334782745704, }, Color2Green = Input { Value = 0.833034731599259, }, Gradient = Input { Value = Gradient { Colors = { [0.288321167883212] = { 0.316739841316322, 0.806175882829889, 1, 0.121428571428571, }, [0.5583941605839] = { 0.316739841316322, 0.806175882829889, 1, 1, }, }, }, }, }, ViewInfo = OperatorInfo { Pos = { -220, 148.5, }, }, }, Ribbon3D1 = Ribbon3D { Inputs = { NumberOfLines = Input { Value = 1, }, LineThickness = Input { Value = 5, }, ["Start.Nest"] = Input { Value = 1, }, ["Start.X"] = Input { SourceOp = "Shake1", Source = "X", }, ["Start.Y"] = Input { SourceOp = "Shake1", Source = "Y", }, ["End.Nest"] = Input { Value = 1, }, ["End.X"] = Input { SourceOp = "Shake2", Source = "X", }, ["End.Y"] = Input { SourceOp = "Shake1", Source = "Y", }, ["End.Z"] = Input { Value = -1.08204405314354, }, ["ObjectID.ObjectID"] = Input { Value = 1, }, MaterialInput = Input { SourceOp = "FastNoise2", Source = "Output", }, ["MtlStdInputs.MaterialID"] = Input { Value = 1, }, }, ViewInfo = OperatorInfo { Pos = { -55, 148.5, }, }, }, Shake1 = Shake { CtrlWZoom = false, Inputs = { RandomSeed = Input { Value = 13140, }, Smoothness = Input { Value = 4, }, LockXY = Input { Value = 0, }, XMinimum = Input { Value = -1, }, XMaximum = Input { Value = 0, }, }, }, Shake2 = Shake { CtrlWZoom = false, Inputs = { RandomSeed = Input { Value = 18826, }, Smoothness = Input { Value = 4, }, LockXY = Input { Value = 0, }, }, }, Displace3D1 = Displace3D { Inputs = { SceneInput = Input { SourceOp = "Ribbon3D1", Source = "Output", }, Channel = Input { Value = 6, }, Scale = Input { Value = 0.3714286, }, Input = Input { SourceOp = "FastNoise1", Source = "Output", }, }, ViewInfo = OperatorInfo { Pos = { 165, 148.5, }, }, }, SoftGlow1 = SoftGlow { Inputs = { Gain = Input { Value = 20, }, XGlowSize = Input { Value = 40, }, Input = Input { SourceOp = "Renderer3D1", Source = "Output", }, }, ViewInfo = OperatorInfo { Pos = { 385, 181.5, }, }, }, Merge3D1 = Merge3D { Inputs = { SceneInput1 = Input { SourceOp = "Displace3D1", Source = "Output", }, SceneInput2 = Input { SourceOp = "Camera3D1", Source = "Output", }, }, ViewInfo = OperatorInfo { Pos = { 165, 181.5, }, }, }, Renderer3D1 = Renderer3D { Inputs = { Width = Input { Value = 1280, }, Height = Input { Value = 720, }, Depth = Input { Value = 3, }, ["Gamut.SLogVersion"] = Input { Value = FuID { "SLog2", }, }, SceneInput = Input { SourceOp = "Merge3D1", Source = "Output", }, RendererType = Input { Value = FuID { "RendererOpenGL", }, }, ["RendererOpenGL.TransparencySorting"] = Input { Value = 2, }, }, ViewInfo = OperatorInfo { Pos = { 275, 181.5, }, }, }, Camera3D1 = Camera3D { Inputs = { ["Transform3DOp.Translate.X"] = Input { Value = -0.295690886668124, }, ["Transform3DOp.Translate.Y"] = Input { Value = 1.4532493, }, ["Transform3DOp.Translate.Z"] = Input { Value = 1.80122458353298, }, ["Transform3DOp.Rotate.X"] = Input { Value = -18.2000007629395, }, ["Transform3DOp.Rotate.Y"] = Input { Value = -5, }, FLength = Input { Value = 18.2123442718302, }, ["Stereo.Mode"] = Input { Value = FuID { "OffAxis", }, }, ["SurfacePlaneInputs.ObjectID.ObjectID"] = Input { Value = 2, }, ["MtlStdInputs.MaterialID"] = Input { Value = 2, }, }, ViewInfo = OperatorInfo { Pos = { -55, 181.5, }, }, }, }, }

I once wrote a fuse for the rough basic shape of a lightning. Maybe it's still on archive.org's vfxpedia cache. If not I might dig it out.

Hey BMD! when will the content from vfxpedia be back?
