This example shows a cinematic vertical lightning strike from sky to ground.
A jagged lightning bolt strikes the ground at regular intervals, triggering a synchronized impact burst effect. Both the bolt and the impact burst use ribbons and particles with HDR bloom to create a high-energy electric glow.
The effect features:
- Vertical strike: a 30-unit long bolt hitting the ground (Y = -15)
- Impact burst: a synchronized radial explosion at the strike point
- Jagged appearance: procedural jitter with tapering at the endpoints
- HDR rendering: subtle bloom for a sharp electric glow
- Procedural variation: unique bolt shapes and impact patterns per strike
