Lightning Fast is a powerful combination materials and blueprints that implements a wide range of realistic and stylized electricity effects. There are multiple ways of using the Lightning Fast in games and movies starting from lightning bolts in background flashing lightning bolts during a storm through electric fences to the devastating lightning guns and spells. This system is designed in mind to achieve all those effects on high performance and AAA quality at the same time.

Supported effects:

• flashes/bolts/strikes
  
• beams/chains/splines
  
• discharges/electrocute/volume/fences
  
• trails/ribbons
  

Character skills:

• lightning gun
  
• lightning trail in slow-motion run
  
• lightning AoE
  
• hit/electrocute reactions
  

The Lightning Fast Mesh combined with Lightning Fast Material has some useful features and properties that are very important in the vfx production.

• can be used witch spline meshes
  
• can be scaled and keeps proper shape
  
• can be used in particle system
  
• can be watched from every angle
  

Update 1.1

• Added network replication
  
• New ambient light in lightning bolts
