EVERYPlant King Fern LowPoly 4 --14 Models-- Low-poly 3D model

Name: King Fern LowPoly

Scientific: Angiopteris evecta

This Variation: 4 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 -- 7,911 polygons, 13,970 vertices -- 7.26m tall. Green, fully mature and in good health. Useable in most scenes.
2. Thriving -- 8,048 polygons, 14,246 vertices -- 7.26m tall. Peak health.
3. Unhealthy -- 7,575 polygons, 12,993 vertices -- 5.66m tall. Relatively poor state with foliage missing or diseased.
4. Dying -- 4,789 polygons, 8,089 vertices -- 4.38m tall. Just hanging onto life and showing only unhealthy and diseased foliage.
5. Dead -- 2,163 polygons, 3,564 vertices -- 3.37m tall. Showing only bare and broken branches and dead foliage.
6. Ancient -- 8,705 polygons, 15,113 vertices -- 9.07m tall. Very old plant, larger and considerably gnarled.
7. Young -- 6,960 polygons, 12,665 vertices -- 5.29m tall. Smaller plant, some half way through its maturing cycle.
8. Immature -- 7,929 polygons, 11,359 vertices -- 4.14m tall. Very small and young plant.
9. Fiddleheads -- 3,330 polygons, 3,464 vertices -- 95.52cm tall. Recently sprouted, may not have any leaves.
10. Lower Poly -- 4,798 polygons, 9,237 vertices -- 7.26m tall. Fewer polys to save system resources. For mid or distant renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
11. Higher Poly -- 12,503 polygons, 20,852 vertices -- 7.26m tall. More polys for greater detail. For close-up renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
12. Quads -- 8,235 polygons, 15,556 vertices -- 7.26m tall. Quad polygons throughout (as opposed to mixed, which is much more efficient). Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
13. Triangles -- 13,208 polygons, 13,878 vertices -- 7.26m 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 -- 18,410 polygons, 26,999 vertices -- 7.26m 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.
