I don't know if you can literally make lightning or not. What I'm using right now is some presets I picked up from somewhere (3dcommune maybe?...don't remember). All they are is a 2D plane with a lightning jpg applied. I'm wondering if you couldn't monkey with a tree however... Make a tree without leaves, only a few branches, apply some sort of bright material to it and bury the roots in a cloud? Dunno... I'll have to try that myself! :o)

I saw a tut once upon a time about making your lightning in the terrain editor.... I haven't attempted it myself... might have to now though.

There are 10 kinds of people: Those who know binary, and those who don't. 

A whiner is about as useful as a one-legged man at an arse kicking contest.

The tree sounds like a good idea eelie.
