Bifrost develops lightning tool demo 1

HI,
Lightning tool developed using Bifrost 2.1 version point cloud. And, I used this tool to make the first demo. You need Bifrost 2.1 version and Rebel Pack 0.3.0 to run this tool.

This is only the first version, and I hope to update it in the future. My goal is to make it easy for everyone to create any type of lightning effect.
Of course, I also hope that the official BIfrost team can release better lightning tools in the future.

I upload the file here. And, I will upload it in the compound sharing area.
Please enjoy!

Thanks!

Hi,
very sorry! This is what I just re-released with the latest version and it fixes the error. It should be available on version 2.2.

Hi Everyone,
I get this error when I load the simulate_lightning tool. I followed the tutorial regardless but nothing shows up in my outliner or viewport.
I'm using Maya 2020.4 and Bifrost 2.2.0.0-2020.

Hi,
So I just re downloaded the most recent post from Bruce and replaced mine but I still get the same red flag. I even added a new simulate_lightning node but still got the same error.
