I am pretty sure you can find good solutions on woodprix webpage 🙂
@blenderguru I animated both the render layers, how do you combine them together to make one animated video?
Love your Work Thanks
what if i want to export everything to a game? Will the compositing stay in the game? Or the game will only be able to read textures animations and mesh, ignoring all the rest?
11:07 that bug still exists in 2.77 😉
2017 and this video was still very useful, and I'm not making lightning, yet this was very useful for something else, but how about a tutorial for vanishing like this but on cycles?.
Cycles scare me, I mean the nodes and well a tutorial would be appreciated =D
Andrew seems more Australian back in 2012 😛
I could use this to make my own Resanance Cascade (Half-Life)
The footage is the most lightning i have ever seen.
Not many tutorial on how to create the glowing effect in blender internal.
Great vid thanks.
I guess it needs a better upgrade
hi Andrew! use the ivy addon for lightning for a fast lightning bolt design
Maynnnn Great Tutorial! Enjoy your visit to South Korea. Hope your girl decides to move with you soon. B-)
oh how I miss the old YouTube
The ivy addon (Comes by default with blender) is a good way to get quick lightning effects and then using the randomize under transform when in edit mode.
So you can make something completely transparent during certain frames using key frames? If that's the case, it will be extremely useful!
When I render this, the animations don't work. Any suggestions?
you deserve a subsc
is the light effect on houses with p system?
Is it possible to go into the nodes and change the color of the lighting and keep the effects?

tried adding the curve modifier but its saying its disabled on v1.77, how do i fix this?
Can you plz say which engine is better, blener render or cycles render … for getting high quality images …
I HAVE 2 main doubts in blender … 1) Why when I texture the objects in Blender render and try to view(or edit) it in cycles render I am not able to do that ,,,,, the texture is missing why?… 2) How to create semisolid substance like jam, tooth paste, tomato paste, ice cream, semisolid soil (because of rain), etc.?
do a new one please
Umm… FYI, lightning actaully forms from the ground, pathing its way up to the sky. Just look up slow-motion lightning. Lightning is really wacky. It also has lots of finer tendrils that disipate quicker.
Damn i don't know how make in cycles blender disappearing and showing thunderbolt
Question: Do you turn the main lightning rod into mesh as well??
would this be ok for a Star Wars parody :I ?
This is awesome! So can you decide the length of your video. So, for example, if you want your video to be as long as an hour; is it possible to do so in Blender?
Blender Guru, you are my master. I'm a long time searching some tutorial about creating a simple lighting and today you show me how i do it.
10:51 L@L keyboard broke brah!
Could you please update this awesome video as blender is at stage 2.74. i have tried this several times an keep failing. i love all your videos as they are very instructional. thank you for your wonderful help an videos
OLD SCHOOOOL! Your voice hahahaha
im trying to make lightning for a thor hammer effect, could someone explain how i could take this and put it into a footage where someone uses a mjolnir prop to call lightning? there are absolutely no tutorials on that thing in blender
Yeah, everything was great till I got to deal with node editor. It's just frustrating. On Bl.2.71 looks somehow different than in tutorial. Nevertheless was fun for couple of nights.
My picture isn't showing up.
Please update this tutorial for the latest version of blender. Theres road blocks in the middle of the video because some settings aren't in the current version of blender.
Btw, other videos on "Realistic" lightning out there hard to find and the ones that somewhat exist suck…this is the best one by far but I can't recommend it cause users will get stuck in the middle if they are using a later version of blender. Please update this awesome video.
uhh.. mines isn't doing a brightness animation. Any ideas why?
Can u re do a tut for this on 2.69+?
Tornado!
Thanks Andrew. I love your work! Another very useful and easy to follow tutorial.
tornado, tornado, tornado!!!

So far, out of all the Blender tutorial guys out there, you kick ass dude. There's always this and that when it comes to what details i'm looking for, but overall, thumbs up man.

Thanks Andrew for all your tutorials…they're awesome! Great work!
