EVERYPlant Lepidodendron Scale Tree 4 --14 Models-- 3D model

Name: Lepidodendron Scale Tree

Scientific: Lepidodendron aculeatum

This Variation: 4 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 -- 479,479 polygons, 696,204 vertices -- 43.86m tall. Green, fully mature and in good health. Useable in most scenes.
2. Thriving -- 480,566 polygons, 694,778 vertices -- 43.86m tall. Peak health.
3. Unhealthy -- 410,612 polygons, 596,161 vertices -- 43.77m tall. Relatively poor state with foliage missing or diseased.
4. Dying -- 188,013 polygons, 251,351 vertices -- 43.34m tall. Just hanging onto life and showing only unhealthy and diseased foliage.
5. Dead -- 129,951 polygons, 163,854 vertices -- 42.82m tall. Showing only bare and broken branches and dead foliage.
6. Stump -- 42,701 polygons, 50,147 vertices -- 9.08m tall. A dead plant with its trunk broken.
7. Uprooted -- 138,786 polygons, 173,262 vertices -- 13.23m tall. Dead plant fallen onto its side.
8. Ancient -- 1,748,174 polygons, 2,605,906 vertices -- 52.47m tall. Very old plant, larger and considerably gnarled.
9. Young -- 178,974 polygons, 250,000 vertices -- 35.98m tall. Smaller plant, some half way through its maturing cycle.
10. Immature -- 16,808 polygons, 21,889 vertices -- 17.39m tall. Very small and young plant.
11. Sapling -- 12,026 polygons, 16,876 vertices -- 6.62m tall. Recently sprouted.
12. Lower Poly -- 107,225 polygons, 200,993 vertices -- 43.86m tall. Fewer polys to save system resources. For mid or distant renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
13. Higher Poly -- 1,297,558, 1,707,868 vertices -- 43.86m tall. More polys for greater detail. For close-up renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
14. Uniform Mesh -- 629,698 polygons, 932,523 vertices -- 43.86m 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!
