Realistic Lightnings Bundle 01 - 5 pack CG 3D Model Collection

cgtrader

Starter pack of 5 Cloud to Ground Lightnings - $6 bundle savings. These realistic Lightning 3D models are carefully crafted to blend seamlessly into any background environment and render extremely fast. The mesh is optimized for low polycount, making it perfect for use in games as well. Total Polygons: 41,106 Total Vertices: 41,281 The Lightning geometry is made in real-world scale ~ 8km height (the average height of this type of Cloud to Ground Lightning), but can be scaled up or down to fit your needs and will still look great in renders. Scene units - m (meters). This model uses a V-Ray version, however you will be able to use the geometry with other renderers by making or using your own materials. Every branch is easily selected (by Element) for animating different illumination and/or timings per branch for some spectacular slow-motion animations, just like in real life. All elements are UVW Unwrapped without overlapping, allowing you to use textures if needed. The current texture uses Vertex Color (which can be baked into a texture if required), and is embedded in the exported FBX format as well. You can easily adjust the brightness of the light materials to best match your scene and camera settings, which are properly named and easy to set up, separated by branch size. The glow of the main bolt is made via V-Ray Lens effects Bloom + Glare (which is set up in the scene), and can be turned off if you prefer to add your own effects in post-processing. Rendered on a black background, the lightning will blend seamlessly into your image using 'Screen' or 'Lighten' mode in PhotoShop, AffiniPhoto, etc. The geometry can also be used as a light source when merged into your scene, and you can adjust only the main bolt strength as it is the brightest and most influential. Be sure to check out the related V-Ray rendering tip included with this product as .jpg and .txt files. You can easily import this model via drag and drop - there are no background objects, cameras or additional lights in the scene. This model is compatible with 3dsMax 2010 and up. Exported versions in 3DS, FBX and OBJ formats (no materials) are available. Please note that depending on the software you use, the exported formats may not look exactly like they do in the preview images. In some cases the mesh may appear triangulated and you will need to manually reassign materials/textures as needed. If you feel inspired, please post an image of your render online using this model, and don't forget to use hashtag #lightning3d when doing so - it'll be fun for me to see! Have a great time with this amazing light!
