EVERYPlant Lepidodendron Scale Tree LowPoly 4 --14 Models-- Low-poly 3D model

Name: Lepidodendron Scale Tree LowPoly

Scientific: Lepidodendron aculeatum

This Variation: 4 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 -- 14,865 polygons, 26,558 vertices -- 42.29m tall. Green, fully mature and in good health. Useable in most scenes.
2. Thriving -- 15,028 polygons, 26,728 vertices -- 42.29m tall. Peak health.
3. Unhealthy -- 11,640 polygons, 20,877 vertices -- 41.99m tall. Relatively poor state with foliage missing or diseased.
4. Dying -- 5,303 polygons, 8,235 vertices -- 41.91m tall. Just hanging onto life and showing only unhealthy and diseased foliage.
5. Dead -- 3,158 polygons, 3,981 vertices -- 41.82m tall. Showing only bare and broken branches and dead foliage.
6. Stump -- 1,400 polygons, 1,458 vertices -- 8.69m tall. A dead plant with its trunk broken.
7. Uprooted -- 3,969 polygons, 4,841 vertices -- 13.23m tall. Dead plant fallen onto its side.
8. Ancient -- 49,582 polygons, 86,760 vertices -- 50.6m tall. Very old plant, larger and considerably gnarled.
9. Young -- 4,628 polygons, 7,674 vertices -- 34.59m tall. Smaller plant, some half way through its maturing cycle.
10. Immature -- 650 polygons, 1,008 vertices -- 16.99m tall. Very small and young plant.
11. Sapling -- 447 polygons, 767 vertices -- 6.12m tall. Recently sprouted.
12. Lower Poly -- 10,307 polygons, 20,576 vertices -- 42.29m tall. Fewer polys to save system resources. For mid or distant renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
13. Higher Poly -- 25,985 polygons, 39,868 vertices -- 42.29m tall. More polys for greater detail. For close-up renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
14. Uniform Mesh -- 10,487 polygons, 20,702 vertices -- 42.29m 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!
