EVERYPlant Lepidodendron Scale Tree LowPoly 2 --14 Models-- Low-poly 3D model

Name: Lepidodendron Scale Tree LowPoly

Scientific: Lepidodendron aculeatum

This Variation: 2 of 4. This is a Low Poly model. A High 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: 14 models in total

1. Standard -- 13,521 polygons, 25,136 vertices -- 41.96m tall. Green, fully mature and in good health. Useable in most scenes.
2. Thriving -- 13,675 polygons, 25,293 vertices -- 41.96m tall. Peak health.
3. Unhealthy -- 11,299 polygons, 21,064 vertices -- 41.91m tall. Relatively poor state with foliage missing or diseased.
4. Dying -- 4,990 polygons, 8,274 vertices -- 41.9m tall. Just hanging onto life and showing only unhealthy and diseased foliage.
5. Dead -- 2,127 polygons, 2,833 vertices -- 41.42m tall. Showing only bare and broken branches and dead foliage.
6. Stump -- 484 polygons, 513 vertices -- 9.54m tall. A dead plant with its trunk broken.
7. Uprooted -- 2,345 polygons, 3,087 vertices -- 16.94m tall. Dead plant fallen onto its side.
8. Ancient -- 49,209 polygons, 86,468 vertices -- 50.52m tall. Very old plant, larger and considerably gnarled.
9. Young -- 4,272 polygons, 7,540 vertices -- 34.68m tall. Smaller plant, some half way through its maturing cycle.
10. Immature -- 377 polygons, 621 vertices -- 16.62m tall. Very small and young plant.
11. Sapling -- 272 polygons, 477 vertices -- 5.86m tall. Recently sprouted.
12. Lower Poly -- 9,798 polygons, 20,027 vertices -- 41.96m tall. Fewer polys to save system resources. For mid or distant renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
13. Higher Poly -- 22,305 polygons, 36,074 vertices -- 41.96m tall. More polys for greater detail. For close-up renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
14. Uniform Mesh -- 9,943 polygons, 20,149 vertices -- 41.96m 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!
