 VertiLectric is an exciting new plugin-extension for  [http://www.newtek.com/]
NewTek's LightWave 3D 4.0. VertiLectric allows LightWave animators to create
highly realistic lightning and electrical arc effects.  

Features

 VertiLectric is a plug-in for both the Modeler and Layout portions of LightWave
3D. This two-fisted approach gives you maximum flexibility when composing and
generating your animations.  

VertiLectric Features in Modeler  

 * Create bolts through any two (or more) points. 

 * Write words in electric script. 

 * Control detail level, number of branches, and jaggedness. 

 * Enter specific seeding values, or let VertiLectric generate a bolt at random. 

 * Generate "morphable" bolts. 

 * Make multi-sided bolts with controllable taper. Make Trees, Ribbons, Seaweed
and other organic shapes. 

 * Bonus Plug-in: Points2Nulls generates null-objects from points in Modeler.    

VertiLectric Features in Layout  

 * Strike objects as they move through the scene. 

 * Simple setup. Just pick some source objects and select their targets. Each
Source may have up to 2000 targets! 

 * Auto-strike parameters lets VertiLectric do the work for you. 

 * Complete control for: When a bolt strikes, Where it hits, What it looks like,
and How long it lasts. 

 * ScreamerNet II compatible. 

 * Export strike envelopes to synchronize with items in layout. 

 * Create lightning stroms, laser beams, plasma-ball, and other effects quickly
and easily.

 Note: There have been some reports of problems downloading these files with the
Microsoft Internet Explorer.  We are looking into the problem. If you have
problems, you can also get the files via anonymous ftp at bei.moscow.com. The
files are in the "pub" directory, named vldemopc.zip (Intel), vldemoax.zip (DEC
Alpha), and vldemoam.lha (Amiga).

 Download  Uncompressed Intel version (44k plugin file)

 Download Compressed DEC Alpha version (68k zip archive)

 Download Uncompressed DEC Alpha version (112k plugin file)

 Download Compressed Amiga version (40k lha archive)

 Download Instruction File . Note, this file is already included in the
Compressed archives.

 The demonstration is fully functional within LightWave Modeler , but has only
three control parameters. See the  VertiLectric Tutorial for more information on
using the demonstration. The commercial version allows much more extensive
control over lightning bolt parameters and works both as a Modeler & Layout
plugin.  

Installation:

 Copy the appropriate plug-in file for your system to your plugins/modeler
directory.

 vldemoam.p  (Amiga)

 vldemoax.p  (DEC Alpha based systems)

 vldemopc.p  (Intel based systems)

 Start LightWave Modeler 4.0 and choose "Add Plugin" from the "Objects/Custom"
pop-up.

 Select the plug-in from the file requestor.  In the "Custom" menu, you will
find "VertiLectricDemo" added the list.  When you quit Modeler, the plug-in will
be saved in the list for future use.  

Redistribution:

 The demonstration is freely redistributable. Feel free to give copies to your
friends and post in other archives and BBS systems. All we ask is that the
plugins and documentation files be distributed together and in an unmodified
form.
