@Whiplash_Effigy (Whiplash Effigy) posted a new topic, subject "lightning". It read:

   I'm trying to make a ball of lightning to fit inside of a claw that I designed for a robot of mine. But I can't get the lightning to appear.
    
    Here's the link to the tutorial I'm using. It isn't working very well.
    
    Any ideas?

    I don't know why the lightning isn't working in your project, as you didn't give much detail, but here is a link to a fireball tutorial, perhaps you could just change the material to make it look like lightning?
    
    Hope that helps…

    thankyou very much. Once I finish my robot I'll be sure to post him in the finished things, since i'm actually sort of proud of him.
    
    Now I just need to find the time at work, since that's where I built him:rolleyes:
