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

Name: Medullosa LowPoly

Scientific: Medullosa noei

This Variation: 3 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 -- 8,520 polygons, 11,421 vertices -- 4.24m tall. Green, fully mature and in good health. Useable in most scenes.
2. Thriving -- 8,708 polygons, 11,719 vertices -- 4.24m tall. Peak health.
3. Unhealthy -- 8,009 polygons, 10,502 vertices -- 4.24m tall. Relatively poor state with foliage missing or diseased.
4. Dying -- 6,909 polygons, 8,853 vertices -- 4.05m tall. Just hanging onto life and showing only unhealthy and diseased foliage.
5. Dead -- 5,369 polygons, 6,889 vertices -- 3.03m tall. Showing only bare and broken branches and dead foliage.
6. Stump -- 3,921 polygons, 4,156 vertices -- 2.24m tall. A dead plant with its trunk broken.
7. Uprooted -- 7,543 polygons, 9,251 vertices -- 88.05cm tall. Dead plant fallen onto its side.
8. Ancient -- 8,880 polygons, 12,251 vertices -- 4.97m tall. Very old plant, larger and considerably gnarled.
9. Young -- 6,409 polygons, 8,253 vertices -- 2.34m tall. Smaller plant, some half way through its maturing cycle.
10. Immature -- 3,249 polygons, 3,641 vertices -- 46.3cm tall. Very small and young plant.
11. Seedling -- 1,304 polygons, 1,567 vertices -- 19.17cm tall. Very young plant just forming its first true leaves.
12. Lower Poly -- 7,112 polygons, 9,944 vertices -- 4.24m tall. Fewer polys to save system resources. For mid or distant renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
13. Higher Poly -- 13,941 polygons, 17,202 vertices -- 4.24m tall. More polys for greater detail. For close-up renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
14. Uniform Mesh -- 9,087 polygons, 11,726 vertices -- 4.23m 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!
