EVERYPlant Ribbonwood LowPoly 1 --18 Models-- Low-poly 3D model

Name: Ribbonwood LowPoly

Scientific: Idiospermum australiense

This Variation: 1 of 4. This is a Low Poly model. A High Poly version is also available.

Notes: This tree is found only in two small areas of the tropical rainforests of northeastern Queensland, Australia. It is a relic of the ancient forests of Gondwana, surviving for 120 million years, and displaying features that are almost identical to fossil records from that time. This species was originally described in 1912 by the German botanist Ludwig Diels, based on material he collected in 1902. He arrived in the area in June, a month that is now known as the peak of the flowering season for this species, but he was ill-prepared and was only able to collect flowers that had already fallen to the ground. By the time Diels published his paper, the lowland forests where he found it were being cleared for sugar cane farming, and were gone by the 1920s. The original specimen plant material was destroyed in a bombing raid in 1943. The species was thought to have been lost entirely, but in 1971 a grazier discovered some of his cattle had died unexpectedly after suffering spasms. It was later found that the cattle had ingested the fruit of this tree, hence the rediscovery of this species.

13. Sapling -- 395 polygons, 939 vertices -- 1.88m tall. Recently sprouted, may not have any leaves.
14. Lower Poly -- 7,349 polygons, 14,951 vertices -- 34.85m tall. Fewer polys to save system resources. For mid or distant renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
15. Higher Poly -- 35,266 polygons, 47,942 vertices -- 34.85m tall. More polys for greater detail. For close-up renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
16. Quads -- 15,482 polygons, 25,575 vertices -- 34.85m tall. Quad polygons throughout (as opposed to mixed, which is much more efficient). Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
17. Triangles -- 26,541 polygons, 22,793 vertices -- 34.85m tall. Triangle polygons throughout (as opposed to mixed, which is much more efficient). Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
18. Uniform Mesh -- 11,804 polygons, 20,387 vertices -- 34.85m 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.
