Morning all.
Finally got some decent looking electric arc going on. All procedural. Video and c4d file attached.
Add your mesh to Connect object and its ready to go. Simple enough but its using Nexus constraint to get stupidly quick result. Can be replaced with standard Constraints. Muuuch slower though.
The xpCover controls where it will shoot the particles (nearest point in this case, few other options there)
Enjoy.
