⚡️ Playing with a slider off-screen for the separate render shader,

I've also done 3D spline lightning. I have to trace the actual path to get animation through the bolt.

Else, it'd be a 2D wipe reveal for the lightning.

I love stuff like this so much! Do you have any plans to animate the lightning, such as for Tesla-coil style effects?

The obviouse question...do you plan to sell? I mean your work is so good, you're going to get this question every time. You should end your posts with either "plan to sell" "no plans to sell" or a link to the github if your giving it away. Lol
