Samapico Posted March 25, 2005 Report Posted March 25, 2005 if in general... an animated lightning ball? a 3D lightning ball? just a lightning ball picture? hmm
Kameloh Posted March 25, 2005 Author Report Posted March 25, 2005 Well, I want to learn how to make lightning effects.. in a orb shape form. I want tol be able to animated it myself for a project I'm doing.
»SOS Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 Well, 2D or 3D? 2D is easier in some aspects. Here's how I'd do it: The orb would be 3D-rendered. A plain sphere, some bump mapping and a volumetric cloud-ish texture would probably work well.Any actual lightning coming out of it would be added with photoshop. The best way to do photoshop lightning is this: First do normal clouds and then difference clouds a lot with black&white. Then (I think this was needed) invert the colours and edit the white levels so that only the brightest white is visible.
