This highly realistic Lightning 3D model is designed to seamlessly integrate with any background environment and renders at extremely high speeds. The mesh is meticulously optimized for low polycount, allowing it to be easily used in games as well. Polygons: 4483 Vertices: 4505 The lightning geometry is constructed on a scale matching the average height of cloud-to-ground lightning in real-world measurements, standing at approximately 8km. This allows users to adjust the size according to their needs while maintaining an accurate visual representation in renders. Scene units are measured in meters for precise calculations and simulations. This V-Ray version comes pre-packaged with all necessary geometry and materials, however if other rendering engines are utilized, users will be required to create or utilize their own materials to achieve the desired effects. Every branch is uniquely accessible for selection by element, making it possible to create dynamic illumination and timing sequences for breathtaking slow-motion animations. UVW unwrapping has been executed without any overlapping elements, providing a smooth foundation for applying textures. The current Vertex Color scheme can be baked into a texture using Substance Designer or similar software, with the exported FBX format also including this data for seamless implementation. The brightness of the light materials is fully adjustable to best complement your scene and camera settings. Branches are conveniently categorized by size for streamlined adjustment and fine-tuning. The luminosity of the primary bolt has been achieved through a combination of V-Ray Lens effects Bloom + Glare, which can be disabled in favor of post-processing if desired. For seamless integration into black backgrounds, 'Screen' or 'Lighten' modes in photo editing software like PhotoShop or AffinityPhoto will perfectly merge the lightning model into your scene. When imported as a light source, users can easily adjust the strength of the primary bolt for enhanced visuals. Don't forget to explore an accompanying V-Ray rendering tip provided with this product in both .jpg and .txt formats. This Lightning 3D model can be effortlessly dragged and dropped into most compatible software programs without any unnecessary background elements or cameras. Supports seamless integration with 3dsMax 2010 and subsequent versions. Exports are available in multiple file formats, including 3DS, FBX, and OBJ, all of which lack embedded materials to simplify user convenience. Please note that varying results may be observed when working with different software programs due to exported file compatibility. Some users may find the mesh to appear triangulated upon import; in these instances, reassignment of materials and textures is necessary for optimal visualization.
