Lightning Effect Material Shader — VRChat Worlds & Avatars

Add electric energy, crackling arcs, and glowing lightning bursts to your VRChat avatars and worlds with this customizable Lightning Effect Material Shader.

The package includes both standard animated materials and AudioLink-capable versions that can react to music and world audio, making the lightning pulse and intensify alongside the sound.

This shader is designed primarily for overlaying lightning effects onto clothing, accessories, and avatar materials, but it also works on world objects, props, cubes, panels, weapons, and other surfaces. It creates animated electric bolts that can crawl across the material, branch outward, glow, flicker, and burst with randomized crackle timing.

Use it for charged clothing, magical powers, cyberpunk accessories, energy armor, storm effects, electric weapons, sci-fi props, boss encounters, music venues, dance worlds, or any scene that needs a dramatic lightning overlay.
