For the second portion of this visual effects tutorial, we use tyFlow to create the small lightning FX that pop up throughout the smoke funnel. I show you how to use the position object operator & find target to attract the lightning from one object to another. Finally, we go over setting up Vray lights and simple Vray rendering settings, including minor post production in After Effect, for a final Thanos Portal effect - just in time for Avengers Engame!
