/* I have AApro and I am looking for the same type of effect. I like the idea of incremented tga files which came off of video, but 'it never rains in California'…<g>. Could you tell me how you would do this in AApro? */ In a nutshell, we have a Targa+ board which can capture live video. By doing paced captures, we can put together a small movie (NUMPIC import-POCO) and use this as a material in 3DS, or as a composite in AniPro. Lots of really great lightening scenes over in the GRAPHSUPP forum too if you can't capture… with a little creative blending on the lightening image (to make it look like lightening isn't striking), you could drop a lightening strike image between 10 or 20 non-lightening strikes and have a "random" strike movie to work with. Sound effects help a lot too. 🙂 -dave
