This 3D model was originally crafted in Sketchup 8 and subsequently transformed into various other 3D formats for universal compatibility. Its native format is the proprietary .skp extension, which translates seamlessly to the 3ds Max environment using a 2016 version of the software, powered by Vray 3.00 for optimal rendering performance. Note: This Cycad boasts an imposing, palm-like trunk that reaches upwards of 10 meters in height and a diameter proportional to its robust stem. It is characterized by limited or no branching, and its starchy core has been a valuable resource for the indigenous populations of old who harvested it to produce a bread-like foodstuff. Cycas rumphii boasts seeds uniquely coated with a buoyant spongy material that facilitates their transportation through vast distances across the South Pacific. This remarkable adaptation allowed this species to disperse over countless miles, expanding its presence throughout the islands. Typically, they reach heights of 6-7 meters in ideal conditions. Habitat: The native terrain for Cycas rumphii lies on the picturesque Moluccan Islands, nestled amidst warm and humid climates, where the sun dips into a calm horizon and gentle ocean breezes envelop these towering coastal forests below the 200-meter elevation mark. The well-draining sandy soil infused with calcareous deposits provides an ideal growing condition for this resilient species.
