Lightning Animation

This project was about creating lightning and animating it. I like the result, but I think it could be expanded upon to look more realistic. I would make it thinner and the branching faster. The city itself could use a livelier feeling, I think. It seems too static, but this was mostly focused on the lightning, so it was overlooked for the purposes of this project. All in all I think it was a worthwhile endeavor to build this scene.
