This stunning Lightning 3D model seamlessly integrates with any environment and delivers exceptional rendering speeds. The model's mesh has been meticulously optimized to achieve an exceptionally low polycount, making it suitable for games as well. Here are its specifications: Polygons: 10420 Vertices: 10489 Notably, the Lightning geometry was designed at a real-world scale of approximately 8km height, equivalent to the average elevation of Cloud to Ground Lightning. However, this size can be adjusted as per requirement and still maintain excellent rendering quality. The scene utilizes meters (m) units. This model is optimized for V-Ray, but users of other renderers will need to create or apply their own materials. Each branch within the model can be effortlessly isolated (using Element) for personalized illumination effects or unique timing, reflecting the dynamic nature of real-world Lightning for breathtaking slow-motion animations. UVW Unwrapping ensures all elements are neatly arranged without overlap, allowing for seamless texture application if desired. The current vertex color scheme can be further refined and baked to texture using Substance Designer or similar tools. To suit your scene's requirements, adjust the light material brightness as per your needs. Properly named branches make it easy to customize their respective settings based on branch size. V-Ray Lens effects Bloom + Glare have been implemented for a lifelike main bolt glow, but can be turned off if you wish to create custom post-production effects. Rendered against a black background, the model provides ideal conditions to integrate it into your image using PhotoShop or similar applications in 'Screen' or 'Lighten' mode. As a bonus, this geometry can serve as an adjustable light source when merged within your scene. Adjusting only the main bolt strength will significantly influence its brightness and overall effect. This product includes valuable insights on utilizing V-Ray to achieve superior results, available in .jpg and .txt formats. Feel free to import it directly via drag and drop - no need to add background objects, cameras or lights within the scene. This model supports compatibility with 3dsMax 2010 and above. Export options include: - 3DS - FBX (no materials) - OBJ Please note that rendering may exhibit differences based on your software of choice. In certain cases, meshes might appear triangulated, necessitating manual reassignment of materials and textures to maintain the original appearance.
