    I used the 512×512 textures again I had already started them so I used them.
    I did try to resample them in PI, it did not work out at all.
    Next one I will give it a go with a smaller texture size.

    As always comments welcome.

    I went in frame by frame and adjusted the bolts so there are no dead ends in mid strike.
    I think it looks cleaner than version 2 that

    Is there a way that I can change this emitter in order to make it look like the electrical discharge is heading from one location to another?

    Thanks!

    You could export the shape, rotate each image to the proper angle and create a new shape or you can change the angle of the Layer so the bolts shoot horizontal rather than vertical.
    Then position and size the emitter as needed.

    I don’t really follow….

    Can someone just teach me how to make an emitter? From scratch?
