EVERYPlant Medullosa 4 --14 Models-- 3D model

Name: Medullosa

Scientific: Medullosa noei

This Variation: 4 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 -- 53,767 polygons, 67,860 vertices -- 4.34m tall. Green, fully mature and in good health. Useable in most scenes.
2. Thriving -- 53,727 polygons, 67,797 vertices -- 4.34m tall. Peak health.
3. Unhealthy -- 54,786 polygons, 69,448 vertices -- 4.34m tall. Relatively poor state with foliage missing or diseased.
4. Dying -- 50,907 polygons, 62,828 vertices -- 3.8m tall. Just hanging onto life and showing only unhealthy and diseased foliage.
5. Dead -- 47,333 polygons, 57,927 vertices -- 3.01m tall. Showing only bare and broken branches and dead foliage.
6. Stump -- 32,357 polygons, 36,446 vertices -- 1.75m tall. A dead plant with its trunk broken.
7. Uprooted -- 68,298 polygons, 81,534 vertices -- 91.53cm tall. Dead plant fallen onto its side.
8. Ancient -- 61,531 polygons, 78,210 vertices -- 4.89m tall. Very old plant, larger and considerably gnarled.
9. Young -- 42,823 polygons, 52,672 vertices -- 2.28m tall. Smaller plant, some half way through its maturing cycle.
10. Immature -- 30,193 polygons, 35,488 vertices -- 55.19cm tall. Very small and young plant.
11. Seedling -- 18,824 polygons, 21,309 vertices -- 22.8cm tall. Very young plant just forming its first true leaves.
12. Lower Poly -- 13,328 polygons, 19,772 vertices -- 4.34m tall. Fewer polys to save system resources. For mid or distant renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
13. Higher Poly -- 118,603 polygons, 142,961 vertices -- 4.34m tall. More polys for greater detail. For close-up renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
14. Uniform Mesh -- 55,398 polygons, 62,301 vertices -- 4.34m 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!
