EVERYPlant Giant Redwood 3 --16 Models-- 3D model

Name: Giant Redwood

Scientific: Sequoiadendron gigantum

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

Notes: These are the largest trees on Earth, though not as tall as the Coastal Redwood (Sequia sempervirens), this tree has a wider girth and a less tapered trunking making it greater by volume. It's a long lived species with the oldest known being 3,200+ years old. While the present day distribution of this species is limited to a small area of California, it was once much more widely distributed in prehistoric times, and was a reasonably common species in North American and Eurasian coniferous forests until its range was greatly reduced by the last ice age. Older fossil specimens have been found in Cretaceous era sediments from a number of sites in North America and Europe, and as far afield as New Zealand and Australia. The Giant Redwood is usually found in a humid climate characterized by dry summers and snowy winters. Most groves are on granitic-based residual and alluvial soils with elevations generally ranging from 1,400–2,150m. This tree occurs naturally only in groves on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, however, it is cultivated the world over and noteable groves can be found in France, UK, Italy, Northern Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

1. Standard -- 479,481 polygons, 611,805 vertices -- 84.42m tall. Green, fully mature and in good health. Useable in most scenes.
2. Thriving -- 534,077 polygons, 684,851 vertices -- 84.42m tall. Peak health.
3. Unhealthy -- 287,149 polygons, 357,281 vertices -- 83.99m tall. Relatively poor state with much of its foliage missing or diseased.
4. Dying -- 168,057 polygons, 202,467 vertices -- 84.3m tall. Just hanging onto life and showing only unhealthy and diseased foliage.
5. Dead -- 105,135 polygons, 125,305 vertices -- 83.86m tall. Showing only bare and broken branches and dead foliage.
6. Stump -- 29,942 polygons, 36,377 vertices -- 11.31m tall. A dead tree with its trunk broken.
7. Uprooted -- 120,413 polygons, 144,444 vertices -- 38.96m tall. Dead tree fallen onto its side.
8. Ancient -- 757,745 polygons, 926,809 vertices -- 115.69m tall. Very old tree, larger and considerably gnarled.
9. Young -- 169,346 polygons, 230,448 vertices -- 60.17m tall. Smaller, some half way through its maturing cycle.
10. Immature -- 13,033 polygons, 17,368 vertices -- 21.06m tall. Very small and young.
11. Sapling -- 939 polygons, 1,209 vertices -- 3.88m tall. Recently sprouted, may not have any leaves.
12. Lower Poly -- 199,845 polygons, 285,426 vertices -- 84.42m tall. Standard model with fewer polys to save system resources. Intended for mid or distant renders.
13. Higher Poly -- 990,402 polygons, 1,213,294 vertices -- 84.42m tall. Standard model with more polys for greater detail. Intended for close-up renders.
14. Quads -- 605,483 polygons, 856,149 vertices -- 84.42m tall. Quad polygons throughout (as opposed to mixed, which is much more efficient). Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
15. Triangles -- 853,789 polygons, 617,318 vertices -- 84.42m tall. Triangle polygons throughout (as opposed to mixed, which is much more efficient). Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
16. Uniform Mesh -- 796,817 polygons, 922,218 vertices -- 84.42m 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.
