I really need some advice with lightning. I've got the chance to get a prett decent job that's dependent on me coming up with a few samples by Tuesday. The client wants to have a logo revealed by a lightning strike. The lightning needs to be controlled for the initial strike – it has to hit in the right spot. There will actually be two bolts intially. Right now, I'm thinking painting these in AniPro would be the best way the letting LenZFX do a nice glow. The hard part (I think) will be actually revealing the logo. Ideally, I'd like to have the lightning strike and then do an effect like the movies when someone's electrified. Like have the little bolts going all over them – in their mouth etc. That would be really cool if the little bolst would trace out the logo and then the logo could fade in as this was happening. I have Plasma.axp but I lost my manual. I really did lose it. Honest. 🙂 Would plasma do it for the logo? I really would like this to be schmoozy so any great ideas would be really appreciated. Thanks DM
