Advanced Configuration

The advanced configuration lets you fine-tune the appearance and behavior of each effect. You can use animation curves, custom values, and additional parameters to achieve more complex and dynamic results After each effect category, you will find an Advanced Options section if available. These options allow you to go beyond the basic settings and fully customize the effect to match your vision.

Each listed property may only apply to specific effects and might not affect all elements of the lightning strike.

Random values are applied as follows:

X and Z axes: between ± the specified value

Y axis: between the defined value and value × 0.6 or 0.5, depending on the selected effect
