Hi Leonard,
Very cool! :-)
Can't wait to play with version 2.
One suggestion, as most Softimage videos and groups 'live' on Vimeo,
maybe consider creating an account there as well?
That way it's easily linked to one of the existing tutorial groups on
Vimeo ;-)

Hey guys
a week or so ago somebody here on the list posted this spot showing
the new channel branding for channel 4Seven and asked how to
accomplish an effect like that in Softimage.
There were a couple of suggestions, but nobody really came up with a
solution.
When I saw the shot I thought, that that shouldn't be too hard to do
with LK Lightning.
Here is a tutorial showing how to create the effect:
