EVERYPlant Sigillaria LowPoly 2 --12 Models-- Low-poly 3D model

Name: Sigillaria LowPoly

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

This Variation: 2 of 4. This is a Low Poly model. A High 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 -- 5,671 polygons, 7,898 vertices -- 22.46m tall. Green, fully mature and in good health. Useable in most scenes.
2. Thriving -- 5,840 polygons, 8,100 vertices -- 22.47m tall. Peak health.
3. Unhealthy -- 4,983 polygons, 6,868 vertices -- 22.62m tall. Relatively poor state with foliage missing or diseased.
4. Dying -- 3,351 polygons, 3,945 vertices -- 22.29m tall. Just hanging onto life and showing only unhealthy and diseased foliage.
5. Dead -- 2,955 polygons, 3,194 vertices -- 21.07m tall. Showing only bare and broken branches and dead foliage.
6. Uprooted -- 4,835 polygons, 5,177 vertices -- 7.63m tall. Dead plant fallen onto its side.
7. Ancient -- 9,218 polygons, 13,520 vertices -- 29.78m tall. Very old plant, larger and considerably gnarled.
8. Young -- 2,661 polygons, 3,731 vertices -- 10.25m tall. Smaller plant, some half way through its maturing cycle.
9. Immature -- 1,025 polygons, 1,441 vertices -- 3.78m tall. Very small and young plant.
10. Sapling -- 367 polygons, 512 vertices -- 2.01m tall. Recently sprouted.
11. Lower Poly -- 3,645 polygons, 5,848 vertices -- 22.46m tall. Fewer polys to save system resources. For mid or distant renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
12. Higher Poly -- 14,208 polygons, 17,371 vertices -- 22.46m 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!
