Lightning Fast is a powerful combination of materials and blueprints that implement a wide range of realistic and stylized electricity effects. There are multiple ways of using the Lightning Fast in games and movies starting from lightning bolts in the background flashing lightning bolts during a storm through electric fences to the devastating lightning guns and spells. This system is designed in mind to achieve all those effects on high performance and AAA quality at the same time.
