Name: Umbrella Thorn Acacia
Scientific: Vachellia tortilis
A.K.A.: Umbrella Thorn, Israeli Babool
Notes: A medium to large canopied tree native to most of Africa, primarily to the savanna and Sahel of Africa (especially the Somali peninsula and Sudan), but also occurring in the Middle East. In extremely arid conditions it may occur as a small, wiry bush. Timber from the tree is used for furniture, wagon wheels, fence posts, cages, and pens. Wood from this tree was also used exclusively by the Israelites in the bible in the building of the tabernacle and the tabernacle furniture, including the Ark of the Covenant. The pods and foliage, which grow prolifically on the tree, are used as fodder for desert grazing animals. The bark is often used as a string medium in Tanzania, and is a source for tannin. Gum from the tree is edible and can be used as gum arabic. Parts of the tree including roots, shoots, and pods are also often used by natives for a vast number of purposes including decorations, weapons, tools, and medicines.

All models can be switched between High Poly for close up renders, image or video production, and Low Poly for distant renders, use as game assets, or in real-time applications. 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.
