Hello,

I work with Particle Systems for special effects (Houdini FX) and I would like to build a electric arc system.
I can offset the positions of every particle by certain rules/conditions or expressions and maybe someone here,
Knows a expression or a good link to something like this. Some math that I can use to change the particle positions in a way, that it looks like electricity

Thank you!

What? What particles? What do you mean by, "that it looks like electricity"? We're going to need you to be a lot more descriptive if you want help.
