Procedural Animated Lightning

Description

I was trying to find a way to make nice lightning for a project I'm working on, and it occurred to me that I could use animated displacement modifiers.

Update: I added an armature and a couple drivers to make the lightning always stay between the Source and Terminal objects (which are now empties).

The .blend also includes a compositing setup I used to render it.

First of all, thank you for sharing this. I made a short film for a contest, and I used your model (credited in the end) https://youtu.be/S9wUMVEDCeA
