[AsH] Lightning System (Basic: Invisible) (BOXED)

This is probably a project I'm most proud of, and its very addicting. I've had people come by and watch it (literally) for over an hour.

The lightning is dynamic - none of the lightning bolts are pre-built or pre-designed. They are generated on the fly, just like in nature. All of the angles, forks, and even its color are chosen when that particular bolt is made. It has been optimized to be visually stunning, while still low lag.

Clouds and lightning look different during the day versus at midnight - it's a very interesting effect (and was completely unintentional, but I liked it)

The cloud is made of particles, and the lightning bolts are made of temp prims. Total actual prim count is only 1.

It's also really cool to use when doing photography in SL.

I've set one out at my new store in Pulse if you'd like to check it out, the SLurl is :
