This Realistic Lightning 3D Model Seamlessly Blends in Any Environment, Renders Quickly. The mesh is optimized for low polycount and suitable for use in games. Polygons: 7018 Vertices: 7053 The Lightning geometry was created in real-world scale at approximately 8km height, mirroring the average height of Cloud to Ground Lightning. However, it can be scaled up or down to fit specific needs without compromising visuals in renders. Scene units are set to meters. This is a V-Ray version. Other renderers will be able to use the geometry but may require custom materials. Each branch within the model can easily be selected (by Element) for animations involving different illumination and timings per branch, replicating the effects seen in real-world scenarios for slow motion animations. UVW Unwrapping has been implemented on all elements without overlap to accommodate the need for textures. Vertex Color is utilized, which can be baked into a texture if necessary, and embedded within the exported FBX format for use in Substance Designer or other applicable tools. To best match your scene and camera settings, adjust the brightness of light materials as needed. Properly named and easily set, these materials are separated by branch size for user convenience. The main bolt's glow is achieved via V-Ray Lens effects Bloom + Glare (configured within the scene) but can be deactivated if users prefer to implement their own post-effects. On a black background, the lightning will seamlessly integrate into your image using 'Screen' or 'Lighten' mode in PhotoShop, AffinityPhoto, and other similar software. The geometry can also function as a light source when merged within the scene. The main bolt's strength should be adjusted accordingly since it is the brightest element. Included with this product are V-Ray rendering tips provided as both .jpg and .txt files for reference. Drag-and-drop import capabilities ensure effortless integration without requiring additional background objects, cameras, or lights in the scene. Compatible with 3dsMax 2010 and subsequent versions. Exported formats include 3DS, FBX, and OBJ, although exported materials may differ from those shown in preview images due to software compatibility variations. Reassigning materials and textures as necessary may be required.
