This realistic Lightning 3D model seamlessly blends into any background environment and renders incredibly fast. Optimized for low polycount, the mesh can also be used in games. The polygon count is: 11,287 polygons / 11,331 vertices. Crafted on a real-world scale at approximately 8km height, this cloud-to-ground lightning type averages its maximum altitude. The model's geometry can easily be scaled up or down to suit your needs without sacrificing render quality, remaining visually stunning even in complex scenes measured in meters. This V-Ray version is compatible with other rendering software, allowing users to apply their own materials if needed. However, please note that custom materials must be created outside of this package. Easily accessible and animatable elements within the model enable creators to experiment with unique light effects and branching illuminations reminiscent of real-world occurrences, ideal for capturing dynamic scenes in a photorealistic way. For additional flexibility, UVW unwrapped branches prevent overlapping, making it simple to use textures or Vertex Colors, such as the included current example. This allows users to create realistic textures and further enhance their model through baked material or designer applications like Substance Designer. Feel free to adjust the light intensity of each branch according to your scene's requirements, taking advantage of easy-to-edit and accurately named branches categorized by size. When setting up render materials, remember that brightness adjustment is best accomplished before importing, considering the impact of light sources on the overall lighting effects. For a truly captivating experience, simply add bloom + glare settings within V-Ray or experiment with unique post-processing techniques. Whether combining it with a dark background and blending via Photoshop's screen mode or adjusting to enhance image contrast in AffinityPhoto, the results are sure to be eye-catching. For a different effect, this 3D model can function as a light source by merging into your scene. Simply modify the strength of the main bolt to achieve optimal illumination balance.

Importing via drag-and-drop has never been easier due to a well-organized file structure containing no additional items beyond essential model geometry. This means users can easily place their Lightning 3D model into various scenes without added setup hassle. This product supports versions of Autodesk 3dsMax from 2010 upwards, accommodating an array of possible render configurations. You'll have the choice between importing models in FBX or OBJ format and setting up your desired materials from scratch for customization purposes. While imported meshes may look different compared to images displayed during preview, it's simply due to file format constraints that cause certain issues when triangulating the model mesh in particular cases requiring user adjustments. Finally, as a friendly creator who values feedback on using this model, consider tagging posts containing this lightning scene with #lightning3d to connect with fellow creatives who may share inspiring visuals built around your realistic 3D effect.
