This lightning 3D model is crafted with precise detail to integrate seamlessly into any kind of environment. It renders incredibly fast. The optimized mesh minimizes polycount while ensuring exceptional quality. Key details include: Polygons: 8,984 Vertices: 9,021 The lightning geometry is built at a scale that mirrors the real world height of cloud-to-ground lightning (averaging 8 kilometers in height). Users can adjust the scale as needed to fit their scene. Scene units are set to meters. The V-Ray version provides high-quality renders, but users can import the model into other renderers by adapting the geometry to their specific needs. This level of detail enables artists to easily select individual branches for customized lighting and animation control. UVW unwrapping is applied to ensure smooth texture mapping. Vertex color maps are embedded in the FBX format, allowing for effortless texture integration via Substance Designer or other tools. To fine-tune visual fidelity, users can adjust material brightness to match scene conditions. Lighting materials are easily accessible, separated by branch size for seamless integration. The main bolt's glow effect utilizes V-Ray Lens Bloom + Glare and can be turned off to allow for alternative effects in post-processing. As rendered on a black background, the lightning is primed to blend effortlessly into images via 'Screen' or 'Lighten' mode in PhotoShop, AffinityPhoto, and other compatible software. When merged into scenes as a light source, users can simply adjust the main bolt strength for optimal results. Additionally, this model comes with a V-Ray rendering tip guide (.jpg and .txt files). The geometry imports easily via drag-and-drop without requiring additional setup. Compatible software versions include 3dsMax 2010 or later. Exports are available in 3DS, FBX, and OBJ formats, each without materials. Please note that some software might exhibit differences in the exported model, with possible triangulation of the mesh. Users may need to manually assign materials and textures as required.
