EVERYPlant Lepidodendron Scale Tree 1 --14 Models-- 3D model

Name: Lepidodendron Scale Tree

Scientific: Lepidodendron aculeatum

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

Notes: Extinct tree-sized, tree-like plant from the Carboniferous Period to the late Triassic (about 360 to 205 million years ago). Though superficially it resembled a tree, this plant was most closely related to modern quillworts, meaning it wasn't a true tree. As it grew its central stem eventually split into exactly two branches, and then each branch further split into exactly two more as the plant continued to mature; further dichotomical branching occured until the plant reached full maturity. At the ends of its branches were oval-shaped cones. As the plant grew it shed its lower leaves which resulted in the scar-pattern found on its stem and branches giving it its name of 'scale tree'. Fossils have been found extensively throughout the world suggesting it had a global reach.

Included in this Package: 16 models in total

1. Standard -- 465,172 polygons, 679,323 vertices -- 48.93m tall. Green, fully mature and in good health. Useable in most scenes.
2. Thriving -- 465,633 polygons, 677,306 vertices -- 48.93m tall. Peak health.
3. Unhealthy -- 421,059 polygons, 616,273 vertices -- 48.94m tall. Relatively poor state with foliage missing or diseased.
4. Dying -- 157,612 polygons, 210,014 vertices -- 47.65m tall. Just hanging onto life and showing only unhealthy and diseased foliage.
5. Dead -- 112,767 polygons, 141,344 vertices -- 47.44m tall. Showing only bare and broken branches and dead foliage.
6. Stump -- 38,266 polygons, 44,349 vertices -- 11.65m tall. A dead plant with its trunk broken.
7. Uprooted -- 124,499 polygons, 154,371 vertices -- 15.52m tall. Dead plant fallen onto its side.
8. Ancient -- 1,734,401 polygons, 2,586,146 vertices -- 57.42m tall. Very old plant, larger and considerably gnarled.
9. Young -- 160,152 polygons, 224,162 vertices -- 40.55m tall. Smaller plant, some half way through its maturing cycle.
10. Immature -- 17,061 polygons, 22,026 vertices -- 18.09m tall. Very small and young plant.
11. Sapling -- 11,842 polygons, 16,627 vertices -- 6.93m tall. Recently sprouted.
12. Lower Poly -- 107,528 polygons, 201,714 vertices -- 48.93m tall. Fewer polys to save system resources. For mid or distant renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
13. Higher Poly -- 1,129,611 polygons, 1,516,243 vertices -- 48.93m tall. More polys for greater detail. For close-up renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
14. Uniform Mesh -- 640,302 polygons, 946,839 vertices -- 48.93m 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.

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!
