EVERYPlant Sigillaria 1 --12 Models-- 3D model

Name: Sigillaria

Scientific: Sigillaria ovata (Sigillaria densifolia also available from EVERYPlant)

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

Notes: Extinct tree-sized lycopsids from the late Carboniferous to the early Permian Period (about 380 to 255 million years ago); it had a single trunk, which in older plants often branched to a characteristic Y-shape. Very old plants may further branch. The trunk lacked wood, or had a very slender layer only, with support coming from a layer of closely packed leaf bases just below the surface of the trunk. The center of the trunk was filled with pith and it had photosynthetic tissue on the surface, meaning that it was probably green. Long, thin leaves grew in a spiral along the trunk but persisted only near its growing tip; on lower portions of the plant, where the leaves had fallen off, characteristic polygonal leaf scars remained. It appears to have preferred the mineral soils of river floodplains and higher ground. This preference for better-drained soils may have allowed it to survive the drying of the great coal swamps that led to the extinction of many tree-sized lycopsids during the middle of the Pennsylvanian Epoch (318 to 299 million years ago). Fossils have been found in Great Britain, United States, Canada, China, Korea, Tanzania and Zimbabwe.

Included in this Package: 12 models in total

1. Standard -- 117,678 polygons, 151,253 vertices -- 28.83m tall. Green, fully mature and in good health. Useable in most scenes.
2. Thriving -- 118,300 polygons, 152,010 vertices -- 28.83m tall. Peak health.
3. Unhealthy -- 113,159 polygons, 145,388 vertices -- 28.76m tall. Relatively poor state with foliage missing or diseased.
4. Dying -- 91,057 polygons, 113,068 vertices -- 27.78m tall. Just hanging onto life and showing only unhealthy and diseased foliage.
5. Dead -- 89,180 polygons, 110,036 vertices -- 26.23m tall. Showing only bare and broken branches and dead foliage.
6. Uprooted -- 112,516 polygons, 136,895 vertices -- 8.27m tall. Dead plant fallen onto its side.
7. Ancient -- 187,341 polygons, 249,194 vertices -- 37.14m tall. Very old plant, larger and considerably gnarled.
8. Young -- 53,873 polygons, 67,181 vertices -- 12.99m tall. Smaller plant, some half way through its maturing cycle.
9. Immature -- 16,839 polygons, 20,945 vertices -- 5.13m tall. Very small and young plant.
10. Sapling -- 7,373 polygons, 9,033 vertices -- 2.14m tall. Recently sprouted.
11. Lower Poly -- 9,685 polygons, 16,057 vertices -- 28.83m tall. Fewer polys to save system resources. For mid or distant renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
12. Higher Poly -- 515,903 polygons, 635,742 vertices -- 28.83m 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!
