Lightning Strike With Sparks

This is a Geometry Nodes node group that can be used to create realistic animated lightning strikes with energetic ground impact sparks. It's perfect for VFX shots, cinematic intros, sci-fi scenes, magical effects, thunderstorms, and game cinematics. Every aspect of the effect is easy to customize from the modifier panel, including the number of lightning strikes, sparks per frame, turbulence strength, animation speed, strike timing, spawn area, strike radius, bolt thickness, spark size, and fade timing. Randomness and seed controls make it easy to generate unique lightning patterns with every strike. Since the effect is fully procedural, there are no simulations or external assets required—simply drop it into a scene, tweak the settings, and render. Whether creating subtle electrical arcs or powerful cinematic thunderbolts, this node group provides a fast, flexible, and art-directable workflow.
