Realistic 3D Lightning CG-04 Low-poly 3D model

This detailed Lightning 3D model is designed to blend flawlessly in any type of background environment and renders extremely fast. The mesh has been optimized for low polycount, making it ideal for use in games. Polygons: 7755 Vertices: 7784 The Lightning geometry was created in real-world scale, approximately 8km high (the average height of this type of Cloud-to-Ground Lightning). This allows the model to be scaled up or down as needed and still look impressive in renders. Scene units are measured in meters. This is a V-Ray version of the model. If you're using another renderer, you'll be able to use the geometry, but you'll need to create your own materials. Each branch can be easily selected individually for animated illumination and timing effects per branch (as seen in real-world lighting) to achieve spectacular slow-motion animations. All elements are UVW unwrapped without overlapping to allow for texture application if needed. The current texture uses vertex color and is embedded within the exported FBX format. It can also be baked into a texture using Substance Designer, etc. You're free to adjust the brightness of the light materials to match your scene and camera settings. The light materials are properly named and easily accessible by branch size. The glow effect of the main bolt was created using V-Ray Lens effects Bloom + Glare (set up in the scene). This can be turned off if you want to add your own post-processing effects. When rendered on a black background, this model is ideal for seamless blending with other image elements via 'Screen' or 'Lighten' mode in Photoshop, Affinity Photo, etc. This model can also function as a light source when merged into your scene. The main bolt's strength can be adjusted independently of the surrounding lighting effects. Please explore the related V-Ray rendering tip included with this product as both a .jpg and .txt file. This model can be easily imported via drag-and-drop functionality. No background objects, cameras, or additional lights are present in the scene to simplify setup. Compatible with 3ds Max versions 2010 and later. Exported versions of the model are available in 3DS, FBX, and OBJ formats, excluding materials. When importing these exported models, note that the software used may cause slight differences in appearance compared to the preview images. In some cases, the mesh might appear triangulated, requiring manual material reassignment.
