This is a artistic 3D sketch of the fruit of Marah oregana, also known as “Wild Cucumber,” based on direct observation in Point Robinson Park on Vashon Island, Washington. The plant grows as a vigorous climbing vine similar to cultivated cucumbers, but the fruit forms a distinctive globose pod covered in soft, flexible spines rather than a smooth, elongated cucumber. Inside, the mature seeds are large, hard, and glossy with a deep dark‑chocolate coloration that contrasts strongly with the pale interior pulp.

Includes: Blender 4.5.2 scene (Eevee), glTF, FBX, OBJ/MTL, STL, Collada, 4K JPG/PNG textures.

In botanical terms, the fruit is a globose to ovoid, capsular, dehiscent structure, specifically a spiny capsule that develops from a superior ovary. As it ripens and dries, the capsule splits irregularly or along predefined seams to release the seeds, and the dehiscence is often described as explosive due to internal tension and drying conditions. The depicted pod represents the capsule at a late stage, with the outer wall opened and the seeds visually exposed and ready to fall away from the parent vine.

This model focuses on clear, readable forms and silhouette for use in illustration, concept art, and real‑time applications, rather than strict photorealism. Topology is an all‑quad polygon mesh with non‑overlapping unwrapped UVs, suitable for custom texturing or look‑development workflows. With a polygon count of approximately 40,000 and 33,394 vertices, it offers enough surface detail for close‑up shots while remaining manageable for games, cinematics, and educational visualization.

Included formats are Blender (.blend, native), glTF, FBX, OBJ/MTL, STL, Collada (.dae), JPG, and PNG exports to support a wide range of pipelines and tools. The native Blender file is set up with Eevee materials and lighting, so you can quickly adjust shaders, colors, and presentation for your own scenes. This asset is well‑suited for:

• botanical visualization
• environment dressing
• scientific education
• stylized nature scenes
• and any project that needs a distinctive, spiny seed capsule as a focal plant element.
