This weeks update:

This week I had gotten feedback on the lightning and this was my task list I wanted to fix before the next session:

  1. Getting the lightning into shot 1 for visualization

  2. Fixing the noise of each strike

  3. Getting variation on the branches

  4. Attaching a light mesh

I got some great reference from our mentor:

This was the first pass of lightning within the shot, fixing the noise, adding additional branches of each strike, and adding a mesh light.

The spread has been giving me some issues as it is.not as cleam and emphasized. I am currently looking for an alternative and leaning towards using an attribute transfer to make sure that it crawls through the car and it is not as randomized.
