How to do a Lightning Flash?

Hi!

Is it possible to create such a flash effect with LWJGL?

Lots of ways, it just depends on how you feel like doing it and what’s important to you.

You could probably get a really slick effect by growing geometry procedurally over time and putting a bloom shader over the top. Personally I’d keep it simple and just use a few sprites. ;D

Hmm ok… thank you!

However- I have found lots of information about bloom shaders in general- but nothing appropriate on how to program this in Java- do you know any sites which serve as recommendable sources?

Apart from that: Do you know websites which provide such sprites? This would be very helpful since I’m a really bad gfx designer :wink:

Sincerely yours
