Lightning

Strikes

Session 1 | Winter 2021

Kunal Botla & Zoe White

Lightning Strikes uses Houdini to procedurally model the behavior of lightning striking the ground. Lightning is an electric spark from clouds to other clouds, the air, or the ground. We modeled a lightning strike and its environment and merged them together to create the final animation. To continue the project, we would add more, randomized strikes and more variation with cloud-to-cloud and cloud-to-air strikes.
