Hi all, would there be some way of making electricity/plasma, arc [in an electrical sense] around an object in TS761?

Yes you can put an object around the original one and ad the electricity map with illumination and an alpha for blending out the rest....
It works in every software that supports illuminated textures like Lightwave or view and with someother if you can crank up the ambient very high..

Thanks Peter, a great idea indeed mate, thats similar to what i was wanting, ideally i was after a lightning style effect, but i get the principle your saying, and it should adapt to my needs [fingers crossed]

I assume this is animatible also?

thanks again mate.

Yes you just need a lightning map and use the negative of it as a mask (alpha).... you can animate that too !

not sure if they are still even for sale. But they may work.

I wanted to make a lightning plugin but that has been shelved along with
the rest of my interests till we get to Denver.
