Variables¶

Keyframe¶

These settings are set via keyframes and the values can be interpolated between them.

Variable	Definition	Value
Strike Duration	The time each strike should last, in (simulated) seconds.	0.1 to 1000
Strike Frequency	How many strikes per (simulated) second.	0.1 to 10
Regional	Should there be a global storm for this layer, or just within a specified region.	Bool
Wind affects region position	Should the region move with the global wind.	Bool
Radius	Radius of the Cloud Region, in Km.	0.1 to 1000

Variable	Definition	Value
Real time	Sets frequency/duration of strikes to real time. If false, then simulation time.	Bool
Branches	Mean number of branches to generate from each parent.	1 to 12
Branch Angle	Mean angle of branching, in degrees from 0 - 90.	0 to 90
Levels	Number of levels of branching.	1 to 5
Thickness	Thickness of the lightning trunk, in metres.	1 to 100
Min Pixel Width	Minimum pixel size for rendering the lightning strikes.	0 to 8
Roughness	How rough/smooth to make the lightning branches.	0 to 1
Sheet	How much of the lighting should stay within the clouds.	0 to 1
Moion	How much a bolt should move/animate during a strike.	0 to 10
Maximum Radiance	Maximum radiance of the strikes.	0.1 to 10000
