 * @fileoverview LightningStrike object for creating lightning strikes and voltaic arcs.
 *
 *
 * Usage
 *
 * var myRay = new LightningStrike( paramsObject );
 * var myRayMesh = new THREE.Mesh( myRay, myMaterial );
 * scene.add( myRayMesh );
 * ...
 * myRay.update( currentTime );
 *
 * The "currentTime" can vary its rate, go forwards, backwards or even jump, but it cannot be negative.
 *
 * You should normally leave the ray position to (0, 0, 0). You should control it by changing the sourceOffset and destOffset parameters.
 *
 *
 * LightningStrike parameters
 *
 * The paramsObject can contain any of the following parameters.
 *
 * Legend:
 * 'LightningStrike' (also called 'ray'): An independent voltaic arc with its ramifications and defined with a set of parameters.
 * 'Subray': A ramification of the ray. It is not a LightningStrike object.
 * 'Segment': A linear segment piece of a subray.
 * 'Leaf segment': A ray segment which cannot be smaller.
 *
 *
 * The following parameters can be changed any time and if they vary smoothly, the ray form will also change smoothly:
 *
 * @param {Vector3} sourceOffset The point where the ray starts.
 *
 * @param {Vector3} destOffset The point where the ray ends.
 *
 * @param {double} timeScale The rate at wich the ray form changes in time. Default: 1
 *
 * @param {double} roughness From 0 to 1. The higher the value, the more wrinkled is the ray. Default: 0.9
 *
 * @param {double} straightness From 0 to 1. The higher the value, the more straight will be a subray path. Default: 0.7
 *
 * @param {Vector3} up0 Ray 'up' direction at the ray starting point. Must be normalized. It should be perpendicular to the ray forward direction but it doesn't matter much.
 *
 * @param {Vector3} up1 Like the up0 parameter but at the end of the ray. Must be normalized.
 *
 * @param {double} radius0 Radius of the main ray trunk at the start point. Default: 1
 *
 * @param {double} radius1 Radius of the main ray trunk at the end point. Default: 1
 *
 * @param {double} radius0Factor The radius0 of a subray is this factor times the radius0 of its parent subray. Default: 0.5
 *
 * @param {double} radius1Factor The radius1 of a subray is this factor times the radius1 of its parent subray. Default: 0.2
 *
 * @param {minRadius} Minimum value a subray radius0 or radius1 can get. Default: 0.1
 *
 *
 * The following parameters should not be changed after lightning creation. They can be changed but the ray will change its form abruptly:
 *
 * @param {boolean} isEternal If true the ray never extinguishes. Otherwise its life is controlled by the 'birthTime' and 'deathTime' parameters. Default: true if any of those two parameters is undefined.
 *
 * @param {double} birthTime The time at which the ray starts its life and begins propagating. Only if isEternal is false. Default: None.
 *
 * @param {double} deathTime The time at which the ray ends vanishing and its life. Only if isEternal is false. Default: None.
 *
 * @param {double} propagationTimeFactor From 0 to 1. Lifetime factor at which the ray ends propagating and enters the steady phase. For example, 0.1 means it is propagating 1/10 of its lifetime. Default: 0.1
 *
 * @param {double} vanishingTimeFactor From 0 to 1. Lifetime factor at which the ray ends the steady phase and begins vanishing. For example, 0.9 means it is vanishing 1/10 of its lifetime. Default: 0.9
 *
 * @param {double} subrayPeriod Subrays cycle periodically. This is their time period. Default: 4
 *
 * @param {double} subrayDutyCycle From 0 to 1. This is the fraction of time a subray is active. Default: 0.6
 *
 *
 * These parameters cannot change after lightning creation:
 *
 * @param {integer} maxIterations: Greater than 0. The number of ray's leaf segments is 2**maxIterations. Default: 9
 *
 * @param {boolean} isStatic Set to true only for rays which won't change over time and are not attached to moving objects (Rare case). It is used to set the vertex buffers non-dynamic. You can omit calling update() for these rays.
 *
 * @param {integer} ramification Greater than 0. Maximum number of child subrays a subray can have. Default: 5
 *
 * @param {integer} maxSubrayRecursion Greater than 0. Maximum level of recursion (subray descendant generations). Default: 3
 *
 * @param {double} recursionProbability From 0 to 1. The lower the value, the less chance each new generation of subrays has to generate new subrays. Default: 0.6
 *
 * @param {boolean} generateUVs If true, the ray geometry will have uv coordinates generated. u runs along the ray, and v across its perimeter. Default: false.
 *
 * @param {Object} randomGenerator Set here your random number generator which will seed the THREE.SimplexNoise and other decisions during ray tree creation.
 * It can be used to generate repeatable rays. For that, set also the noiseSeed parameter, and each ray created with that generator and seed pair will be identical in time.
 * The randomGenerator parameter should be an object with a random() function similar to Math.random, but seedable.
 * It must have also a getSeed() method, which returns the current seed, and a setSeed( seed ) method, which accepts as seed a fractional number from 0 to 1, as well as any other number.
 * The default value is an internal generator for some uses and Math.random for others (It is non-repeatable even if noiseSeed is supplied)
 *
 * @param {double} noiseSeed Seed used to make repeatable rays (see the randomGenerator)
 *
 * @param {function} onDecideSubrayCreation Set this to change the callback which decides subray creation. You can look at the default callback in the code (createDefaultSubrayCreationCallbacks)for more info.
 *
 * @param {function} onSubrayCreation This is another callback, more simple than the previous one. It can be used to adapt the form of subrays or other parameters once a subray has been created and initialized. It is used in the examples to adapt subrays to a sphere or to a plane.
