Bolts travel from the top of the surface to the bottom at irregular intervals, using a customizable lightning texture to create natural, uneven strike shapes. Each strike varies in timing, length, and intensity to avoid repetition and keep the effect feeling alive. The lightning briefly illuminates the material before fading back into darkness, creating tension and impact without rapid flashing or harsh strobing. Built to feel unpredictable and unstable, like distant storms. suitable for spheres, columns, walls, and environmental props. Ideal for sci-fi reactors, storm effects, dramatic set pieces, or subtle background energy where mood matters more than spectacle. No scripts required. Fully material-driven. Easy to tune and stack with other shaders. check out the shader in VRchat https://youtu.be/C-OvqTdbJZo
