EVERYPlant King Fern LowPoly 3 --14 Models-- Low-poly 3D model

Name: King Fern LowPoly

Scientific: Angiopteris evecta

This Variation: 3 of 4. This is a Low Poly model. A High 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 -- 6,308 polygons, 10,967 vertices -- 6.44m tall. Green, fully mature and in good health. Useable in most scenes.
2. Thriving -- 6,335 polygons, 11,092 vertices -- 6.96m tall. Peak health.
3. Unhealthy -- 5,397 polygons, 9,206 vertices -- 5.47m tall. Relatively poor state with foliage missing or diseased.
4. Dying -- 3,552 polygons, 6,003 vertices -- 3.68m tall. Just hanging onto life and showing only unhealthy and diseased foliage.
5. Dead -- 1,880 polygons, 3,105 vertices -- 3.39m tall. Showing only bare and broken branches and dead foliage.
6. Ancient -- 6,841 polygons, 11,572 vertices -- 8.08m tall. Very old plant, larger and considerably gnarled.
7. Young -- 5,420 polygons, 9,740 vertices -- 4.98m tall. Smaller plant, some half way through its maturing cycle.
8. Immature -- 4,089 polygons, 5,202 vertices -- 3.71m tall. Very small and young plant.
9. Fiddleheads -- 2,106 polygons, 2,198 vertices -- 79.56cm tall. Recently sprouted, may not have any leaves.
10. Lower Poly -- 3,829 polygons, 7,241 vertices -- 6.44m tall. Fewer polys to save system resources. For mid or distant renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
11. Higher Poly -- 10,018 polygons, 16,455 vertices -- 6.44m tall. More polys for greater detail. For close-up renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
12. Quads -- 6,594 polygons, 12,205 vertices -- 6.44m tall. Quad polygons throughout (as opposed to mixed, which is much more efficient). Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
13. Triangles -- 10,652 polygons, 10,893 vertices -- 6.44m 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 -- 13,916 polygons, 20,325 vertices -- 6.44m 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.
