Realistic 3D Lightning CA-10 Low-poly 3D model

cgtrader

This 3D lightning model is crafted with seamless blending capabilities in any environment and delivers high-performance rendering results. The mesh has been optimized for low polygon counts and can also be utilized within game development. Polygons: 5250 Vertices: 5270 This realistic geometry is created to the real-world scale of ~ 8km height, mirroring the average size of cloud-to-ground lightning, however, it can be scaled up or down as needed while still maintaining an attractive visual presence in renders. Scene units are set in meters. A V-Ray version has been prepared, yet other rendering tools may utilize the geometry, but custom materials must be designed. Individual branches can easily be selected for independent manipulation of illumination and timing, mimicking real-world behavior to produce dramatic slow-motion animations. Elements are unwrapped without overlapping, making them ready for texture use. The embedded Vertex Color map in FBX format enables baking if needed, along with Substance Designer integration capabilities. Adjust the brightness settings for best scene matching via 'Screen' or 'Lighten' mode on Photoshop or similar applications, as elements are properly named and separated by size. Main bolt glows have been achieved through V-Ray's Bloom + Glare effects. These can be deactivated if alternative post-processing is desired. This 3D lightning model offers the versatility to work as a standalone light source when incorporated within a scene, with easy adjustability of the primary bolt strength. Take note that detailed information about using V-Ray can be found in accompanying tip files, both .jpg and .txt formats. To simplify importation, no additional background objects or lighting configurations are present. Compatible software includes 3dsMax 2010 through its latest iteration. Exported formats encompass 3DS, FBX, and OBJ files without embedded materials for user assignment according to desired software functionality.
