The example scene on the signature image is conveniently absent from the accompanying files. This collection contains 40 different lightnings, evenly divided between Cloud to Air and Cloud to Ground styles. Users can also capitalize on a generous bundle discount of $361, reducing each model's price by a significant margin to $19 if purchased individually. These realistic Lightning 3D models are painstakingly crafted to blend seamlessly into any background environment and render rapidly, thanks to their optimized design. Their low polycount mesh allows them to be utilized in games with ease. Total Polygons: 469,291 Total Vertices: 471,397 The Lightning geometry is built on a real-world scale of approximately 8km in height, which corresponds to the average height of lightnings in reality. This scale can be adjusted as needed, and the model will still render impressively. Scene units - meters (m). This version is compatible with V-Ray; users of other renderers may still utilize the geometry but must create their own materials from scratch. Each branch can be independently selected for customization of illumination and timing to suit the specific needs of an animation or project. All elements are meticulously UVW unwrapped to prevent overlap, facilitating the application of textures as needed. Current material uses Vertex Color and is embedded in the exported FBX format for added convenience. Adjusting the brightness of light materials is a straightforward process that can be tailored to match scene settings and camera perspectives seamlessly. The main bolt's glow is expertly managed via V-Ray Lens effects Bloom + Glare, but users can opt out and create their own effects during post-processing if desired. On a black background, this lightning model will integrate perfectly into any image using 'Screen' or 'Lighten' modes in Photoshop or other photo editing software. For added versatility, the geometry can be merged with a scene to function as a light source when required. A valuable V-Ray rendering tip is included in .jpg and .txt formats for users to explore. These 3D models are easy to import via drag-and-drop functionality, with no unnecessary background objects, cameras, or additional lights included. Further render examples and wireframes can be found on individual product pages if desired. Compatibility extends to 3dsMax versions 2010 and higher. Exported in three formats - 3DS, FBX, and OBJ (with no materials applied). Keep in mind that the exported formats may appear slightly different depending on your software; triangulation or material/texture reassignment may be necessary.
