DESCRIPTION

This Methane Molecule 3D model represents the simplest hydrocarbon, with the chemical formula CH4. Methane consists of one carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms in a tetrahedral structure. It is the main component of natural gas and plays a big role as a fuel source and greenhouse gas. This model is perfect for educational purposes, chemistry demonstrations, and molecular structure visualization.

The model is ready for close up renderingsThe model is created in Maya software.The model is in 0,0,0, in the X/Y/Z position.Model is in scale and rotation set to 1,1,1 and 0,0,0 .No Photoshop or compositing used, the Product is ready to render. Just download and hit render.Objects are organized by layers/groups.No cleaning up necessary just drop your models into the scene and start rendering.No additional plugin is needed to open the model.File Formats:

No unsupported objects
Unsupported objects:
- Lights

Geometry
No N-gons
N-gons are polygons with five or more sides which might cause issues in certain processes like rendering or animation. Learn more
No faceted geometry
Faceted geometry uses flat surfaces without smoothing, which can look unrealistic on curves.
Learn more
Manifold geometry
Manifold geometry ensures all surfaces are properly connected, avoiding issues like edges shared by more than two faces.

Textures & material
PBR textures
PBR textures simulate how light interacts with materials, making the model look realistic under different lighting.
Required PBR textures:
- Base Color
- Roughness
- Metalness
- Normal
Learn more
No embed textures
Embedded textures are stored inside the model file, increasing its size and sometimes causing compatibility issues.
Learn more
Square textures
Texture aspect ratio is the width-to-height ratio of a texture. Expected texture aspect ratio: 1:1
Learn more
Power of 2 texture sizes
Textures with dimensions in power of two (e.g. 512x512px, 1024x1024px) are used to optimize performance and memory usage.
Learn more
Assigned materials
Materials are applied to the 3D model to allow visualize a model's surface properties and appearance.
Learn more
UVs & naming
No UV overlaps
UVs overlap when multiple points on the 3D model's surface are mapped to the same point on the UV island causing texture stretching.
Learn more
UV unwrapped model
A UV unwrapped model means its 3D surface is flattened into 2D space, allowing textures to be applied accurately.

Provided by designer
Information and details shared directly by the model's designer.
3D Features
The model includes animations (movement or actions) that can be played in supported software or engines.
The model has a skeleton or bone structure, making it ready for posing or animation.
PBR
Uses Physically Based Rendering materials, which give the model realistic lighting and surface properties.
Textures
The model includes image files (textures) that add color, patterns, or detail to its surfaces.
Materials
The model has material settings that define how surfaces look (color, shine, transparency, etc.).
UV Mapping
The model's surfaces are mapped to a 2D image, allowing textures to display correctly.
Plugins Used
Some external plugins were used to create the model. These may be required for full functionality.
3D printing
Indicates whether the designer marked this model as suitable for 3D printing.
Model is not 3D printable
The designer indicates this model is intended for digital use only (rendering, animation, or AR/VR) and not for 3D printing.
Geometry
Subdivision ready
A polygon model designed to smooth cleanly when subdivision is applied.
2704 polygons
The total number of polygons (flat shapes) that make up the 3D model.
 / 2666 vertices
The number of points (corners) that define the shape of the model's polygons.
