Default creating realistic electricity and lightning

G'Day everyone,

What a great website!

I was just reading the "Dome" tutorial and just wondering. I want to create a completely clear crystal ball - however I want to add some static electricy inside the crystall ball (like those seen in novelty shops) as well as some lightning effects in the background....

How do I create the static electricity inside the ball and them lightning outside it, in the background?


Cheers

Hi Dave and welcome to the board [righton]

These static electricy effects are explained for example in these 2 tutorials:

http://www.gurusnetwork.com/tutorial...lightning.html
http://www.savvy.net/lightning.htm

With some copy and pasting you can achieve the effects you want.

G'Day Gauss,

Thank you, just browsed through the threads, I gotta say what a friendly bunch of folks we have here. It makes it easier for newbies like me to ask questions.

That's a nice start to the lightning I wanted to create.

I'll see what I can come up with....Hey how do I post my work on this site so all you guys can check 'mark' it?



Dave.

Dave, there is an option if you reply that says Attach file.
Click on the Browse button and select the file that you want to attach. It's advisable to keep the size if possible under 50kb and the width under 550 pixels. Smaller is always better of course

Welcome Aboard Dave!

Oh... and be sure to post your "electrifying" sphere when you're done. It sounds most interesting. 8[

In case anyone cares to know...

The effect/object dave is speaking of is called a "plasma ball".
You can find them at science fairs mainly.

Here...
Here are some examples i found around the Web.

Use these as source images in Photoshop, to better see/understand what this effect entails. And really use your imaginations when trying to reproduce the effect.
