This super-realistic 3D Lightning Model blends flawlessly with any background environment and renders incredibly fast. The mesh is optimized for minimal polycount, making it perfect for games too. Polygons: 9936 Vertices: 9979 Crafted at a real-world scale of around 8km in height (matching the average height of this type of Cloud to Ground Lightning), but can be scaled up or down as needed without losing detail. Scene units - m (meters). This is a V-Ray version, allowing for seamless use with the included geometry and V-Ray materials. If you're using another renderer, simply create your own custom materials. Each branch can easily be selected independently to enable customized lighting effects and timings per branch for truly mesmerizing slow-motion animations. Every element of the lightning bolt is carefully unwrapped in UVW to prevent overlapping and ensures easy access to textures, should you need them. To customize the model further, simply adjust the brightness settings on your chosen materials - these are expertly named by size for your convenience. The bright glow of the main bolt can be customized using V-Ray's Bloom + Glare effect; just disable this in post if desired. Rendered against a black background, you can seamlessly integrate the lightning model into your own scene using 'Screen' or 'Lighten' mode in your image editor of choice. Alternatively, use the model as a standalone light source by adjusting only the main bolt's strength. You'll also find additional guidance on V-Ray rendering tips bundled within this package - check them out! Don't forget to try importing via drag and drop: no hidden cameras or background objects are present in this scene. The compatible software range is 3dsMax 2010 up to current versions, and the models can be exported as 3DS, FBX and OBJ (without materials) for flexibility. Please note that some variations may appear between export formats, particularly when triangulated - a manual tweak of re-assigning materials or textures might help resolve this issue.
