This extremely realistic 3D Lightning model is engineered to seamlessly integrate into any background environment and renders at lightning speed. The mesh has been optimized for low polycount making it perfect for use in games. Polygons: 9034 Vertices: 9071 The Lightning geometry was created using real-world measurements ~ 8km height, which is the average height of this type of Cloud to Ground Lightning. However, you can easily scale up or down to fit your needs and still achieve stunning results in renders. Scene units are measured in meters. This model has been crafted for V-Ray use; if you're using another renderer you will need to create or utilize your own materials. Every branch can be selected separately for precise animation control and individual lighting and timing adjustments per branch, creating the potential for spectacular slow-motion animations that mimic real-world occurrences. All elements have been UVW unwrapped without overlapping to ensure easy access for textures. The current Vertex Color map can be baked to a texture if needed, and is included in the exported FBX format. The brightness of the light materials has been optimized and can be adjusted according to your scene and camera settings. They are named accordingly by branch size for effortless setting. The glow effect on the main bolt has been achieved using V-Ray Lens effects Bloom + Glare, which can be disabled if you prefer to add your own effects in post-production. This lightning model is perfectly suited for a black background environment; when used in PhotoShop or AffinityPhoto with 'Screen' or 'Lighten' mode, it will blend seamlessly into any image.
