EVERYPlant King Fern 3 --14 Models-- 3D model

Name: King Fern

Scientific: Angiopteris evecta

This Variation: 3 of 4. This is a High Poly model. A Low Poly version is also available.

Notes: A very large rainforest fern native to most parts of Southeast Asia and Oceania. It has a history dating back about 300 million years, and is believed to have the longest fronds of any fern in the world. The trunk-like rhizome is massive, measuring up to 1m. The older portions of the rhizome lie on the ground while the newer growth may rise vertically up to 1.2m high. The arching, glossy green fronds, which emerge from the tip of the rhizome, may reach up to 9m long and 2.5m wide, but despite their enormous size they have no woody strengthening tissues in the fronds to keep them erect -- instead they are supported entirely by the hydraulic pressure of the sap. Fossilised fronds bearing a distinct similarity to this plant have been found in Paleozoic rocks from every continent, indicating that the species is very primitive and was widespread around 300 million years ago, a time when ferns and their relatives were the dominant plants on the planet. The geographically isolated communities seen today point to favourable climatic conditions being more widespread in the past.

Included in this Package: 14 models in total

1. Standard -- 44,317 polygons, 67,961 vertices -- 6.45m tall. Green, fully mature and in good health. Useable in most scenes.
2. Thriving -- 44,146 polygons, 68,059 vertices -- 6.96m tall. Peak health.
3. Unhealthy -- 38,235 polygons, 57,615 vertices -- 5.51m tall. Relatively poor state with foliage missing or diseased.
4. Dying -- 25,180 polygons, 37,811 vertices -- 3.69m tall. Just hanging onto life and showing only unhealthy and diseased foliage.
5. Dead -- 13,868 polygons, 20,216 vertices -- 3.44m tall. Showing only bare and broken branches and dead foliage.
6. Ancient -- 52,624 polygons, 79,926 vertices -- 8.1m tall. Very old plant, larger and considerably gnarled.
7. Young -- 33,850 polygons, 53,797 vertices -- 4.98m tall. Smaller plant, some half way through its maturing cycle.
8. Immature -- 58,041 polygons, 68,387 vertices -- 3.64m tall. Very small and young plant.
9. Fiddleheads -- 37,367 polygons, 40,588 vertices -- 79.69cm tall. Recently sprouted, may not have any leaves.
10. Lower Poly -- 11,109 polygons, 19,989 vertices -- 6.45m tall. Fewer polys to save system resources. For mid or distant renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
11. Higher Poly -- 73,768 polygons, 109,458 vertices -- 6.45m tall. More polys for greater detail. For close-up renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
12. Quads -- 44,923 polygons, 70,57 vertices -- 6.45m tall. Quad polygons throughout (as opposed to mixed, which is much more efficient). Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
13. Triangles -- 83,650 polygons, 67,759 vertices -- 6.45m tall. Triangle polygons throughout (as opposed to mixed, which is much more efficient). Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
14. Uniform Mesh -- 543,648 polygons, 610,080 vertices -- 6.45m tall. Uniform meshing throughout (as opposed to adaptive). For easier editing. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).

Re-meshing and any reasonable modification available upon request. No charge to existing customers of the product.

The textures included are mainly 4k (4096x4096); additional texture sizes of medium 2k, small 1k, and tiny <1k textures can also be downloaded. Separated alpha maps can be download as well.

EVERYPlant has a mission ... which is to model every plant species in the world (plus some extinct, fantasy and sci-fi variations as well)! Okay, maybe not every plant! If you don't see it in our store, please get in contact; we have thousands of species on file awaiting upload.
