EVERYPlant Stylocalamites Horsetail Tree LowPoly 4 --16 Models-- Low-poly 3D model

Name: Stylocalamites Horsetail Tree LowPoly

Scientific: Calamites suckowii

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

Notes: An extinct, tree-sized plants that lived during the Carboniferous and early Permian periods (about 360 to 250 million years ago) to which the modern horsetails (genus Equisetum) are closely related. Unlike their herbaceous modern counterparts, these plants were medium-sized trees which grew to heights of more than 10 meters. Although its stem was woody, it was nonetheless a delicate plant that grew in the sub-story of prehistoric forests. Several sub-genera of Calamites existed, this species fell into the category Stylocalamites and were distinct from other Calamites in that their terrestrial parts rarely branched and had only limited foliage. It featured a prominent strobilus missing in other sub-genera of Calamites, but is a feature found in modern horsetails. These plants grew from an underground connected network of rhizomes as well as from seeds. Fossils have been found virtually the world over suggesting the plant had a global range.

14. Lower Poly -- 2,595 polygons, 5,232 vertices -- 8.83m tall. Fewer polys to save system resources. For mid or distant renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
15. Higher Poly -- 11,511 polygons, 15,259 vertices -- 8.83m tall. More polys for greater detail. For close-up renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
16. Uniform Mesh -- 7,740 polygons, 7,176 vertices -- 8.83m 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!
