This detailed Lightning 3D Model blends flawlessly into any scene, rendering at incredibly fast speeds. Its optimized mesh allows for smooth operation in games. Polygons: 3402 Vertices: 3416 Built on a realistic scale of 8km height (corresponding to average Cloud-to-Ground Lightning), the model can be easily resized to fit specific requirements and still yield excellent results in renders. Scene units are set in meters for precise accuracy. Although created using V-Ray, other renderers can also use this geometry, requiring only compatible materials. Each branch is conveniently selected separately for seamless animation of varying illumination and timings, mirroring real-world occurrences. All elements have UVW mapping to ensure textures can be applied as needed, with embedded vertex color ready for baking. Render settings are adaptable via light material adjustments named for clarity by branch size, facilitating smooth integration into scenes. The glow of the primary bolt is achieved through V-Ray effects and can be easily adjusted or disabled if desired. When used against a black background, this model blends flawlessly in Photoshop or other image editors using 'Screen' or 'Lighten' mode. Alternatively, it can be employed as a light source when merged into a scene, allowing the strength of the main bolt to be customized for maximum impact. Included are helpful V-Ray rendering tips provided in JPG and TXT formats. The model can be quickly imported via drag-and-drop functionality without background objects or additional settings required. Support is available for 3ds Max versions from 2010 onwards. Export options include 3DS, FBX, and OBJ formats (with no included materials), but some software compatibility may necessitate reassigning materials/textures manually due to varying output quality. Please consider tagging #lightning3d in online posts showcasing images created with this model, providing a unique chance for the creator to explore its usage in various projects. Enjoy experimenting!
