EVERYPlant Medullosa 1 LowPoly --14 Models-- Low-poly 3D model

Name: Medullosa LowPoly

Scientific: Medullosa noei

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

Notes: Extinct plant from the Carboniferous to the Permian Period (about 360 to 250 million years ago). It appears to have preferred floodplains and swampy ground where it grew in the prehistoric forest sub-story. These plants were small to medium-sized trees with fern-like fronds for leaves. It has no living counterpart today though superficially it resembled a modern day tree-fern. This plant is noted for having very large seeds; this, along with the size of its pollen, has suggested to some scientists that some form of animal interventions was required to fertile and disperse the seeds. If so, then this is the earliest known instance of a plant-animal symbiosis. The exact placement of the fruit/seeds on the plant is not known, but it is thought to have been on the ends of fronds, as is depicted in this model. Fossils have been found in North America, Europe, parts of Asia and Oceania suggesting this plant had a wide range.

Included in this Package: 14 models in total

1. Standard -- 7,774 polygons, 10,353 vertices -- 4.01m tall. Green, fully mature and in good health. Useable in most scenes.
2. Thriving -- 7,812 polygons, 10,433 vertices -- 4.01m tall. Peak health.
3. Unhealthy -- 7,473 polygons, 9,835 vertices -- 3.79m tall. Relatively poor state with foliage missing or diseased.
4. Dying -- 5,617 polygons, 7,453 vertices -- 3.52m tall. Just hanging onto life and showing only unhealthy and diseased foliage.
5. Dead -- 3,888 polygons, 5,199 vertices -- 2.74m tall. Showing only bare and broken branches and dead foliage.
6. Stump -- 2,638 polygons, 2,792 vertices -- 1.8m tall. A dead plant with its trunk broken.
7. Uprooted -- 5,486 polygons, 6,935 vertices -- 75.91cm tall. Dead plant fallen onto its side.
8. Ancient -- 7,605 polygons, 10,730 vertices -- 4.57m tall. Very old plant, larger and considerably gnarled.
9. Young -- 5,546 polygons, 7,123 vertices -- 2m tall. Smaller plant, some half way through its maturing cycle.
10. Immature -- 3,521 polygons, 4,343 vertices -- 85.89cm tall. Very small and young plant.
11. Seedling -- 1,170 polygons, 1,318 vertices -- 26.5cm tall. Very young plant just forming its first true leaves.
12. Lower Poly -- 5,787 polygons, 8,316 vertices -- 4.01m tall. Fewer polys to save system resources. For mid or distant renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
13. Higher Poly -- 14,764 polygons, 17,720 vertices -- 4.01m tall. More polys for greater detail. For close-up renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
14. Uniform Mesh -- 7,980 polygons, 10,349 vertices -- 4.01m 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!
