This highly realistic 3D Lightning model seamlessly integrates with any background environment and renders at incredibly fast speeds. Optimized for low polycount, this asset can also be utilized in gaming applications. Polygons: 4426 Vertices: 4458 The lightning geometry is accurately scaled to match the average height of Cloud-to-Ground lightning, approximately 8 kilometers, but can be resized as needed to fit your scene requirements. Scene units are measured in meters. This V-Ray version of the model is compatible with most renderers, although you may need to create custom materials for use in non-V-Ray scenes. Every branch of the lightning model is fully selectable and animatable, allowing for customized illumination effects per segment. All components have undergone UVW unwrapping without any overlap issues. Current texture utilizes Vertex Color, which can be converted to a standard texture using software like Substance Designer or baked into a format compatible with your preferred rendering tool. Brightness levels of the light materials can be easily adjusted to best suit your scene and camera settings. To add additional visual effects, users can either adjust the V-Ray Lens effects Bloom + Glare properties in the scene or opt to implement custom post-processing techniques. When rendering against a black background, this lightning model can seamlessly blend with your image when applied using 'Screen' or 'Lighten' mode within graphics editors such as PhotoShop or AffinityPhoto. It also works effectively as a light source if incorporated directly into your 3D scene. Adjusting only the main bolt's strength allows users to control the overall intensity of the model without compromising performance. Included with this product is a helpful V-Ray rendering tip available in both JPG and TXT formats. The lightning 3D model can be easily imported by simply dragging and dropping it into your scene. There are no extra objects, cameras, or lighting elements in the file to obstruct rendering performance. This model has been verified as compatible with all versions of 3dsMax from 2010 forward. Available export formats include 3DS, FBX, and OBJ; however, some rendering software may require users to reassign materials and textures manually. Please note that due to software-specific limitations, exported models might not perfectly match the original preview images displayed here. This can result in a potentially triangulated mesh appearance, necessitating further adjustment by the user.
