Sets the options when creating a lightning effect.
Here are the options:
Group Lightnings
When Group Lightning is
turned on, Maya creates a group node and places the newly created
lightning into it. No special controls are associated with this
group. However, grouping can help you organize your lightning effects.
Creation Options
Specifies how you want the lightning created. Click
to turn on one of the following options:
All
Creates lightning between all the selected objects.
In Order
Creates lightning from the first selected object to
the other selected objects in the order of their selection.
From First
Creates lightning from the first object you
select to all the other selected objects.
TipNotice in the illustration for the In
Order option above, the lightning does not extend from object
4 back to object 1. If you want to do this, you need to add another
lightning effect between objects 4 and 1.
Curve Segments
Lightning is made up of soft body curves with extruded
surfaces. The Curve Segments value sets the
number of segments in the lightning.
