Realistic 3D Lightning CG-08 Low-poly 3D model

cgtrader

This lightning 3D model blends seamlessly into any background environment and renders quickly. The mesh is optimized for low polycount and suitable for game usage. Polygons: 10664 Vertices: 10706 The lightning geometry, built to scale at around 8km height (average size of Cloud to Ground Lightning), can be easily scaled up or down for optimal use. Scene units - meters. This is a V-Ray version; if using other renderers, create your own materials since this does not include them. Select each branch separately to animate different illumination and timing per branch, allowing you to achieve spectacular slow motion effects in real-world situations. All elements are UVW unwrapped with no overlapping, making it easier to apply textures. Current one utilizes vertex color, embedded within the exported FBX format for ease of use. You can adjust light material brightness according to your scene's camera settings; they are properly named and easy to set. Materials separate by branch size. The glow from the main bolt uses V-Ray Lens effects Bloom + Glare (configured in the scene); you may turn this off if preferring custom post-production effects. When merged into a scene, the geometry can also act as a light source - simply adjust the main bolt strength for the most impact. Be sure to explore a related V-Ray rendering tip included with this product as .jpg and .txt files. Easily import via drag-and-drop: no background objects or additional lights exist in the scene. This model is compatible with 3dsMax 2010 and later. Exported versions include 3DS, FBX, and OBJ formats without materials - software usage may result in variations between actual images and rendered versions; you might need to manually reassign textures/materials.
