Name: Psaronius Tree Fern

Scientific: Psaronius simplex

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

Notes: An extinct genus marattialean tree fern which grew to 10m in height. Fossils are found from the Carboniferous through the Permian. An unusual feature is that Psaronius did not have a true trunk, but had a massive root mantle formed by hundreds of rootlets. These rootlets are referred to as adventitious because they are appearing in an atypical location. These adventitious roots originate in a central stem high in the tree. This central stem becomes smaller lower in the tree so that at the base the mantle is composed entirely of roots.

Included in this Package: 12 models in total

1. Standard -- 75,962 polygons, 98,559 vertices -- 11.58m tall. Green, fully mature and in good health. Useable in most scenes.
2. Thriving -- 75,680 polygons, 98,133 vertices -- 11.58m tall. Peak health.
3. Unhealthy -- 75,591 polygons, 97,352 vertices -- 11.11m tall. Relatively poor state with foliage missing or diseased.
4. Dying -- 74,878 polygons, 96,034 vertices -- 11.5m tall. Just hanging onto life and showing only unhealthy and diseased foliage.
5. Dead -- 71,145 polygons, 89,683 vertices -- 10m tall. Showing only bare and broken branches and dead foliage.
6. Uprooted -- 128,310 polygons, 153,659 vertices -- 4.04m tall. Dead plant fallen onto its side.
7. Ancient -- 77,992 polygons, 101,004 vertices -- 12.45m tall. Very old plant, larger and considerably gnarled.
8. Young -- 49,734 polygons, 65,076 vertices -- 5.74m tall. Smaller plant, some half way through its maturing cycle.
9. Immature -- 72,603 polygons, 80,565 vertices -- 2.34m tall. Very small and young plant.
10. Fiddleheads -- 59,647 polygons, 64,565 vertices -- 69.13cm tall. Recently sprouted, may not have any leaves.
11. Lower Poly -- 6,455 polygons, 11,364 vertices -- 11.58m tall. Fewer polys to save system resources. For mid or distant renders. Standard model included, remainder models upon request (no charge).
12. Higher Poly -- 508,990 polygons, 627,855 vertices -- 11.58m tall. More polys for greater detail. For close-up renders. 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.
