FULL PERM 2LI MESH Beaucarnea Recurvata Potted Home | Office Patio | Interior Plant Tree

Nice Plant, looks good at my home.

I was excited to see some new mesh plants on Marketplace especially since there are so many that use alpha textures and I'm not a fan of those. This plant doesn't it's all mesh, which is a refreshing change.

Unfortunately this isn't the best plant for modifications. There is one AO map provided which has everything on it, the leaves, trunk, soil and pot. As you can imagine that means a very small surface area for each face. This causes blurry textures, which for me is unacceptable. This could be fixed easily by providing separate AO maps for each part (leaves, trunk, pot/soil).

There is also a specific issue with the pot. If you use a texture that isn't uniform (rusty metal for example) there is a rectangle that shows up at the bottom because of the way the pot was unwrapped. The textured example is ok but that is because it uses very simple/plain textures.

The leaves of the plant also start to breakdown and disappear when you pan back a short distance as they are very thin and wispy.

All in all this is kind of pricey considering the drawbacks of the kit. It may be useful for those who simply want to buy and display or sell the textured version, or want to do very simple modifications.
