Demystifying Post Production - Stylized Lightning FX | Week 4
Demystifying Post Production - Stylized Lightning FX | Week 4
In week 4, you’ll be lighting up the week with toon style lightning effects. Learn how to create clouds with the volume builder and design animated lightning using splines and the electric spline modifier. Finally, we’ll look at adding post FX elements from Red Giant like rain and glows.
