EVERYPlant Medullosa 1 --14 Models-- 3D model

Name: Medullosa

Scientific: Medullosa noei

This Variation: 1 of 4. This is a High Poly model. A Low 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 -- 53,290 polygons, 70,939 vertices -- 4.01m tall. Green, fully mature and in good health. Useable in most scenes.
2. Thriving -- 53,860 polygons, 71,967 vertices -- 4.01m tall. Peak health.
3. Unhealthy -- 50,324 polygons, 66,440 vertices -- 3.8m tall. Relatively poor state with foliage missing or diseased.
4. Dying -- 42,576 polygons, 54,397 vertices -- 3.52m tall. Just hanging onto life and showing only unhealthy and diseased foliage.
5. Dead -- 31,930 polygons, 40,446 vertices -- 2.74m tall. Showing only bare and broken branches and dead foliage.
6. Stump -- 19,059 polygons, 21,465 vertices -- 1.81m tall. A dead plant with its trunk broken.
7. Uprooted -- 43,857 polygons, 53,898 vertices -- 1.13m tall. Dead plant fallen onto its side.
8. Ancient -- 57,539 polygons, 77,507 vertices -- 4.57m tall. Very old plant, larger and considerably gnarled.
9. Young -- 47,840 polygons, 60,055 vertices -- 2m tall. Smaller plant, some half way through its maturing cycle.
10. Immature -- 31,209 polygons, 38,410 vertices -- 83.32cm tall. Very small and young plant.
11. Seedling -- 19,212 polygons, 21,773 vertices -- 26.5cm tall. Very young plant just forming its first true leaves.
12. Lower Poly -- 16,429 polygons, 27,015 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 -- 112,417 polygons, 139,748 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 -- 52,654 polygons, 63,673 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!
