AA Lightning Gen - Procedural Lightning

Turn your scene electric. Animated lightning, electric arcs and energy orbs, built in Blender and controlled with Geometry Nodes.

Two generators, a range of electric effects. Connect objects with targeted lightning, or use Electric Source to turn volumetric meshes into electrical effects.

• Lightning Strikes: timed bursts with branching bolts.
• Continuous Arcs: steady electrical connections between objects.
• Wandering Electricity: moving source and target positions across surfaces.
• Spark Impacts: particles that keep moving after the strike ends.
• Energy Orbs: electrical effects built from spheres and other volumetric meshes.

• Source & Target: use a collection containing one or multiple target objects. Choose fixed, random or wandering positions for both ends of the bolt.
• Timing & Form: adjust strike timing, branches, noise and thickness variation. Shape curved arcs and guide bolts around mesh obstacles.
• Independent Sparks: control particle lifetime, gravity and curl noise. Randomize particle size and change it over each particle's life.

Electric Blue • Violet • Crimson • Golden • Green • White Hot

• Compatibility: tested in Blender 5.2.
• Particle simulation: play from the scene start to build the particle cache. Bake before rendering frames out of order.
• Obstacle avoidance: uses an approximate geometric method. Complex or overlapping meshes may require adjustments.
