This high-quality 3D Lightning Model seamlessly integrates into any background setting and renders extremely fast. The optimized mesh boasts a low polycount making it ideal for game use. Key statistics: Polygons: 12580 Vertices: 12672 This realistic 3D lightning bolt is built to scale, with a height of approximately 8km matching the average height of Cloud-to-Ground Lightning. You can easily adjust the scale to suit your needs and achieve stunning renders. Scene units are in meters (m). A V-Ray version is provided, allowing users to import the model directly. For other renderers, you will need to create or use your own materials. Each branch of the lightning bolt can be individually selected for precise control over illumination and timing. This enables creation of dramatic slow-motion animations with authentic results. UVW unwrapping is perfectly done on all elements to facilitate the application of textures without any overlaps. Vertex color painting allows for additional texture options, which can be baked if desired. Brighten or darken individual branches to match your scene settings for optimal visuals. The central bolt's glow effect utilizes V-Ray Lens effects Bloom + Glare. Simply toggle it off and create custom post-production effects. Blend the model with images by setting the lightning scene on 'Screen' or 'Lighten' in PhotoShop or AffinityPhoto, creating a seamless combination. The model also serves as a functional light source when added to your scene. Just adjust the strength of the main bolt for optimal brightness. Review included V-Ray rendering tips and best practices for use with this 3D lightning model (supplied as .jpg and .txt files). Quickly import the model via drag-and-drop, without any cluttered scenes or objects getting in the way. The model is optimized for seamless integration into 3dsMax 2010 and higher versions. It exports easily to various file formats: 3DS, FBX, and OBJ (without materials). Note that software compatibility may cause some mesh variations upon import; simply reassess your material/texturing accordingly if necessary.
