Elemental Combat

Use the “Advanced Lightning” effect to composite some electric arcs in your hand. Then using a blur to make the lightning glow, we’ll add some light to the scene and use an expression to have the light flicker.

    Good tutorial! This is like an advanced version of my Guru Lesson about the Advanced Lightning effect (which is for beginners and therefore keeps it simple):

    Hey!
    Great tutorial, however I can’t seem to get the lightning to sparkle. The lightning just stays the same. It’s the first Time I use ae, so therefore it’s probably something really simple ;)

    Please help!
