This stunning Lightning 3D model is crafted to blend seamlessly into any background environment and renders incredibly fast. The mesh is highly optimized for low polycount and can also be used in games with remarkable ease. Polygons: 7456 Vertices: 7488 The Lightning geometry is carefully created in real-world scale ~ 8km height (which is the average height of this type of Cloud to Ground Lightning), allowing it to be scaled up or down as needed while still maintaining its authentic look in renders. Scene units - m (meters). This is a V-Ray version, but users of other renderers can still use the geometry and create their own materials if necessary. Each branch of the lightning model can be easily selected individually for animations that require unique illumination and timings per branch, creating truly spectacular slow-motion effects as seen in real life. All elements are meticulously UVW unwrapped to prevent any overlapping issues that may arise when using textures. The current texture uses Vertex Color, which can be converted into a regular texture if desired, and is also embedded within the exported FBX format for further adjustments (it can also be baked in Substance Designer, etc.). Feel free to adjust the brightness of the light materials according to your scene and camera settings for optimal results. These light sources are properly named and easy to manage, categorized by branch size for easier manipulation. The radiant glow of the main bolt is skillfully achieved through V-Ray Lens effects Bloom + Glare (which is set up in the scene), but can be disabled if you wish to incorporate your own post-production effects. When rendered against a black background, the lightning model seamlessly blends into any image via 'Screen' or 'Lighten' mode in popular photo editing software like PhotoShop and AffinityPhoto, etc. In addition, this model can serve as an efficient light source within your scene when merged with other objects. Simply adjust the intensity of the main bolt for maximum visual impact. As a valuable resource, check out a related V-Ray rendering tip included with this product in both .jpg and .txt formats. The model can be effortlessly imported via drag-and-drop functionality - it is compatible with various 3D modeling software packages. There are no extraneous background objects, cameras, or lights present in the scene to create any unnecessary complexity. For optimal performance, this model is designed to be compatible with 3dsMax 2010 and higher versions.
