This highly detailed model originated from a comprehensive design within Sketchup 8 before being seamlessly converted into numerous other three-dimensional formats. Native format is the widely-used .skp, while the 3ds Max scene was rendered with the most current version of Vray 3.00, resulting in breathtakingly accurate visualizations. A unique, long-lived species from ancient times, Cycad presents a thick, palm-like trunk with sparse branching and is commonly known as Bread Palm due to the bread-making resource derived from the stem's starchy core by indigenous peoples. Cycas rumphii produces seeds encapsulated in a spongy covering that allows effortless buoyancy, thus enabling it to successfully disperse over an astonishing distance across vast areas of the South Pacific through this incredible propagation ability. Specifications: up to 10 meters tall, although typically growing up to six or seven meters. Original Location: The remote Moluccan Islands serve as its geographical origins. Found Environmentally in Coastal Forests below a mere 200-meter altitude, often rooted within the sand and calcareous soil that compose these islands' geography. Favorable Climate conditions consist of a consistently warm and humid climate.
