lightning

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:
