So:
This is a thought i had while browsing the forums. I haven’t spent much time on it, and the textures are just premilinary. I’m thinking maybe some lightning between the pillars for later

OMG it is an image of a bunch of high voltage electrical insulators. Good so far though!
that reminds me of the matrix
does anyone know how to do good lightning effects? I’ve tried using particleds but they look really bad. does anyone have any other ideas.
to do electric beams, i use planes with a cloud or marble texture with a very high contrast. I apply the texture to the emit and alpha channels.
thanks, that seems like a good way to do it
This is a nice start. Is it a city scape, or an electrical apparatus? Either way perhaps they should be spaced out a little to help the composition (and also the insulation properties!). I like this sort of stuff (dark aliens / blade runner etc.)
