Hi Blenderians, today we’ll learn how to create thunderbolt in Blender in this lighting simulation tutorial in Blender using Nodes in Blender, released by Bad Normals.

In the tutorial, we will see all the steps using the Geometry Nodes system in Blender to create amazing-looking thunderbolt lighting. The tutorial shows you how to build the realistic lighting effect, starting with a cube and adding more nodes as you work.

Creating a quite physically accurate lightning bolt in Blender is easy! I watched some Houdini lightning tutorials and tinkered on my own to create it with geometry nodes. And you need Blender 3.0 for this, keep that in mind!
