Vachellia Tortilis, commonly known as Umbrella Thorn Acacia, is a hallmark of African savannas and arid landscapes, prized for its distinctive canopy and hardy nature. Our Umbrella Thorn Acacia delivers an exacting digital replica of this iconic species, combining botanical accuracy with production-ready optimization for architectural renders, game environments, and scientific visualizations.
Model Highlights
Authentic Canopy & Branching
Features the characteristic flat-topped “umbrella” crown, with branching angles true to real-world specimens.
Includes both long, straight thorns and shorter, hooked secondary thorns at each node, faithfully reproducing the species’ defensive morphology.
Leaf & Flower Detail
Fully modeled bipinnate leaves (4–10 pinnae per leaf, each with up to 15 leaflet pairs) rendered with high-resolution textures.
Optional bloom variant with dense clusters of small, aromatic white flowers for seasonal visualizations.
Bark & Trunk Realism
Textured bark surface captures the rough, fissured appearance found on mature trees, including the subtle color variations of aged wood.
Technical Details
Performance-Ready Topology
LOD Support: Low-, mid-, and high-poly versions ensure seamless integration into real-time engines and high-end rendering pipelines.
Clean UV Layouts: Non-overlapping, tile-ready UV islands for easy material adjustments and custom foliage shaders.
PBR Material Suite
Base Color, Normal, Roughness & Ambient Occlusion maps optimized for physically based rendering, allowing accurate light interaction in both indoor and outdoor scenes.
Modular Extensions
Separate branch, leaf-cluster, and flowering modules enable procedural placement and level-of-detail foliage systems.
Compatibility
Exported in FBX, OBJ, and glTF formats.
Ready for Unreal Engine, Unity, Blender, 3ds Max, Maya, and other major 3D tools.
Ecological & Contextual Accuracy
Habitat Adaptation
Model can be placed in savanna, semi-desert, or riparian zones, reflecting its tolerance of 100–1 200 mm annual rainfall and temperature extremes from −5 °C to 50 °C.
Root-flare and base geometry support realistic ground-contact simulations for erosion or soil-interaction studies.
Lifecycle Variants
Young Shrub Form: Compact, multi-stem variant for saplings under arid stress.
Mature Tree Form: Full-height model up to 20 m with extended canopy spread for landmark placements.
Transform your digital landscapes with this scientifically accurate and visually compelling Umbrella Thorn Acacia model—ideal for any project demanding botanical fidelity, environmental storytelling, or dynamic procedural foliage.
