EVERYPlant Diplocalamites Horsetail Tree LowPoly 3 --15 Models-- Low-poly 3D model

Name: Diplocalamites Horsetail Tree LowPoly

Scientific: Calamites carinatus

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

Notes: An extinct, tree-sized plants that lived during the Carboniferous and early Permian periods (about 360 to 250 million years ago) to which the modern horsetails (genus Equisetum) are closely related. Unlike their herbaceous modern counterparts, these plants were medium-sized trees which grew to heights of more than 10 meters. Although it's stem was woody, it was nonetheless a delicate plant that grew in the sub-story of prehistoric forests. Several sub-genera of Calamites existed, this species fell into the category Diplocalamites and were distinct from other Calamites in that their terrestrial parts branched sparingly from its central stem, and the branches then further branched which was unusual for Calamites. These plants grew from an underground connected network of rhizomes as well as from seeds. It appears to have preferred sandy riverbanks and floodplains. Fossils have been found virtually the world over suggesting the plant had a global range.

13. Lower Poly -- 6,299 polygons, 13,679 vertices -- 5.87m tall. Fewer polys to save system resources. For mid or distant renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
14. Higher Poly -- 15,084 polygons, 24,263 vertices -- 5.87m tall. More polys for greater detail. For close-up renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
15. Uniform Mesh -- 10,828 polygons, 18,780 vertices -- 5.87m 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.
