Electric

Electric gives lines a fast, crackling lightning look: a hard blue-white core with a softer blue glow, flickering at high frequency, with strikes that flare up and die down. The lines themselves jitter slightly in place, as if the charge were shaking them.

How it looks

The color is fixed to electricity: pale blue-white at the core, a saturated blue glow around it and a faint deep-blue haze. Brightness is driven by two things: a very fast flicker, and a slower strike signal that rises and falls, so the lines alternate between dim crackle and bright bursts. The line positions are nudged back and forth by quick noise, which makes the whole outline shiver. It has the highest default Speed of the line effects.

Settings

• Speed sets the flicker, jitter and strike rate. The default is high; lower it for a slower, heavier current.
• Intensity sets how bright the lines get at full strike.

Use it for

Lightning and electricity themes, energy weapons and force fields, power and battery products, and high-energy sports or gaming visuals. For multiple forking arcs with more detail, use Tesla; for bolts in the scene, the lightning effect.
