EVERYPlant Cordaites 3 --14 Models-- 3D model

Name: Cordaites

Scientific: Cordaites principalis

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

Notes: Extinct plant from the late Carboniferous to the Permian Period (about 323 to 299 million years ago). Fossil specimens have been found in both drier hinterland regions as well as floodplains and swampy ground. It was more common in brackish, swamp areas, but it is notable for being able to colonise drier regions, a feature absent from many plants of this era. This seed plant had leathery, strap-shaped leaves and is thought to be closely related to conifers (at one time it was thought to be the ancestor of modern conifers, but this is no longer considered the case). Those that grew in swampy areas had a more extended stilt-root system then those that grew in drier areas. Fossils have been found mainly in Europe and Asia, but a more extensive range is evident.

Included in this Package: 14 models in total

1. Standard -- 100,814 polygons, 192,850 vertices -- 24.72m tall. Fully mature and in good health. Useable in most scenes.
2. Thriving -- 110,267 polygons, 213,165 vertices -- 24.72m tall. Peak health.
3. Unhealthy -- 63,400 polygons, 114,593 vertices -- 24.72m tall. Relatively poor state with foliage missing or diseased.
4. Dying -- 33,497 polygons, 51,838 vertices -- 24.72m tall. Just hanging onto life and showing only unhealthy and diseased foliage.
5. Dead -- 17,644 polygons, 22,549 vertices -- 23.8m tall. Showing only bare and broken branches and dead foliage.
6. Uprooted -- 17,852 polygons, 22,273 vertices -- 3.88m tall. Dead plant fallen onto its side.
7. Stump -- 6,332 polygons, 7,476 vertices -- 3.87m tall. A dead plant with its trunk broken and missing.
8. Ancient -- 113,210 polygons, 207,512 vertices -- 26.89m tall. Very old plant, larger and considerably gnarled.
9. Young -- 73,026 polygons, 144,760 vertices -- 17.94m tall. Smaller plant, some half way through its maturing cycle.
10. Immature -- 8,576 polygons, 17,251 vertices -- 6.09m tall. Very small and young plant.
11. Sapling -- 1,533 polygons, 3,853 vertices -- 1.13m tall. Recently sprouted, may not have any leaves.
12. Lower Poly -- 54,944 polygons, 137,423 vertices -- 24.72m tall. Fewer polys to save system resources. For mid or distant renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
13. Higher Poly -- 156,794 polygons, 265,302 vertices -- 24.72m tall. More polys for greater detail. For close-up renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
14. Uniform Mesh -- 74,329 polygons, 156,456 vertices -- 24.72m 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.
