Scientific: Cyperus papyrus
A.K.A.: Papyrus, Paper Reed, Indian Matting Plant, Nile Grass, Egyptian Paper Plant, Aaru
Notes: An aquatic plant belonging to the sedge family. It is a tender herbaceous perennial, forming tall stands of reed-like swamp vegetation in shallow water. This plant has a very long history of use by humans, notably by the Ancient Egyptians as the source of papyrus paper, one of the first types of paper ever made. The Ancient Egyptian name for the plant is "Aaru" and they used if for various purposes aside from paper making, including for basket construction, sandals, blankets, medicine, incense, and boats. The woody root was used to make bowls and utensils, and was burned for fuel. The softer parts where even used as tampons by Egyptian women as far back as the 15th century BC. It was an important "gift of the Nile" which is preserved and perpetuated in Egyptian culture.

All materials in this package are certified PBR compliant and have been tested in Unity and Unreal. Any reasonable modification available upon request. No charge to existing customers of the product, please contact via site mail.
Included are two versions, a full and a LITE version. Both versions give good results, but the full version is more accurate and better for hero or close up renders. The LITE version is intended mainly for mid or distant renders or eco use, or use on low end PCs.
EVERYPlant has a mission ... which is to model every plant species in the world (plus some extinct, fantasy and sci-fi variations as well)! Okay, maybe not EVERY plant! If you don't see it in our store, please get in contact; we have thousands of species on file awaiting upload.
