Name: Psaronius Tree Fern

Scientific: Psaronius simplex

This Variation: 2 of 4. This is a High Poly model. A Low Poly version is also available.

Notes: An extinct genus marattialean tree fern which grew to 10m in height. Fossils are found from the Carboniferous through the Permian. An unusual feature is that Psaronius did not have a true trunk, but had a massive root mantle formed by hundreds of rootlets. These rootlets are referred to as adventitious because they are appearing in an atypical location. These adventitious roots originate in a central stem high in the tree. This central stem becomes smaller lower in the tree so that at the base the mantle is composed entirely of roots.

Included in this Package: 12 models in total

1. Standard -- 150,752 polygons, 189,050 vertices -- 8.1m tall. Green, fully mature and in good health. Useable in most scenes.
2. Thriving -- 150,529 polygons, 188,717 vertices -- 8.1m tall. Peak health.
3. Unhealthy -- 151,782 polygons, 190,213 vertices -- 8.01m tall. Relatively poor state with foliage missing or diseased.
4. Dying -- 151,040 polygons, 189,076 vertices -- 8.01m tall. Just hanging onto life and showing only unhealthy and diseased foliage.
5. Dead -- 147,866 polygons, 183,737 vertices -- 7.38m tall. Showing only bare and broken branches and dead foliage.
6. Uprooted -- 199,796 polygons, 243,097 vertices -- 2.23m tall. Dead plant fallen onto its side.
7. Ancient -- 155,058 polygons, 194,440 vertices -- 8.71m tall. Very old plant, larger and considerably gnarled.
8. Young -- 86,971 polygons, 110,149 vertices -- 4.05m tall. Smaller plant, some half way through its maturing cycle.
9. Immature -- 41,760 polygons, 47,740 vertices -- 2.04m tall. Very small and young plant.
10. Fiddleheads -- 46,312 polygons, 50,659 vertices -- 60.27cm tall. Recently sprouted, may not have any leaves.
11. Lower Poly -- 3,798 polygons, 6,536 vertices -- 8.1m tall. Fewer polys to save system resources. For mid or distant renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
12. Higher Poly -- 1,042,727 polygons, 1,283,879 vertices -- 8.1m 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! If you don't see it in our store, please get in contact; we have thousands of species on file awaiting upload.
