SABAL PALMETTO Low-poly 3D model

The Sabal palmetto, commonly known as the Cabbage Palm, is a type of fan palm native to the southeastern United States, especially in coastal regions.

Texturing: Detailed texture maps (diffuse, normal, and bump maps) would be included to replicate the roughness of the trunk, the smooth, slightly waxy texture of the leaves, and the fibrous texture of the petioles. These textures would allow for high-resolution renders, showing the small details of the plant’s anatomy.

Realistic Lighting and Shadows: A high-quality model would often include optimizations for realistic lighting and shadow effects, helping the plant look lifelike when rendered in different environments. The model might be designed to cast natural shadows and interact with lighting in a way that highlights the distinctive shape and texture of the Sabal palmetto.**Detailed Leaf Stems (Petiole): **The petioles, or leaf stems, are thick and fibrous, connecting the fan-shaped fronds to the trunk. In the 3D model, these stems would be modeled with attention to detail, showing their fibrous texture and slight curvature as they extend from the trunk.
