EVERYPlant Lepidodendron Scale Tree 3 --12 Models-- 3D model

Name: Lepidodendron Scale Tree

Scientific: Lepidodendron obovatum (Ledidodendron aculeatum also available from EVERYPlant)

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

Notes: Extinct tree-sized, tree-like plant from the Carboniferous Period to the late Permian (about 360 to 205 million years ago). Though superficially it resembled a tree, this plant was most closely related to modern quillworts, meaning it wasn't a true tree. As it grew its central stem eventually split into exactly two branches, and then each branch further split into exactly two more as the plant continued to mature; further dichotomical branching occured until the plant reached full maturity. At the ends of its branches were oval-shaped cones. As the plant grew it shed its lower leaves which resulted in the scar-pattern found on its stem and branches giving it its name of 'scale tree'. Fossils have been found extensively throughout the world suggesting it had a global reach.

Included in this Package: 12 models in total

1. Standard -- 102,492 polygons, 151,626 vertices -- 44.09m tall. Green, fully mature and in good health. Useable in most scenes.
2. Thriving -- 103,318 polygons, 152,580 vertices -- 44.09m tall. Peak health.
3. Unhealthy -- 71,410 polygons, 105,493 vertices -- 44.05m tall. Relatively poor state with foliage missing or diseased.
4. Dying -- 26,978 polygons, 35,474 vertices -- 43.66m tall. Just hanging onto life and showing only unhealthy and diseased foliage.
5. Dead -- 14,135 polygons, 16,644 vertices -- 42.96m tall. Showing only bare and broken branches and dead foliage.
6. Uprooted -- 19,735 polygons, 23,300 vertices -- 11.27m tall. Dead plant fallen onto its side.
7. Ancient -- 359,252 polygons, 533,717 vertices -- 51.98m tall. Very old plant, larger and considerably gnarled.
8. Young -- 37,375 polygons, 52,549 vertices -- 37.53m tall. Smaller plant, some half way through its maturing cycle.
9. Immature -- 6,228 polygons, 8,575 vertices -- 16.72m tall. Very small and young plant.
10. Sapling -- 5,761 polygons, 8,406 vertices -- 10.18m tall. Recently sprouted.
11. Lower Poly -- 26,225 polygons, 50,688 vertices -- 44.09m tall. Fewer polys to save system resources. For mid or distant renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
12. Higher Poly -- 207,348 polygons, 282,391 vertices -- 44.09m tall. More polys for greater detail. For close-up renders. 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, perhaps just the identifiably different species which have at least a common name!
