Tradescantia pallida, otherwise known as wandering jew, or purple heart, is a perennial herbacious plant, often used as groundcover, and spreads around. It is a type of air filtering plant, and can be used to reduce indoor air pollution.
The model is provided simply as a single "tuft" of leaves. It is expected to be instanced many times and placed in an environment.
Materials
The colours have been calibrated with Macbethcal to an actual Tradescantia pallida plant in Australia, but the specularity and roughness values are guessed. The leaf has a different colour on the front face compared to the back face - both colours are measured and specified in the materials file.
Usage
This Radiance model follows the Radiance Filesystem Hierarchy
Standard. As
such, please run make lib to build the Radiance mesh file. Once done, you can
use this in your scene by:
!xform lib/tradescantia-pallida/obj/model.rad
In order to preserve memory in the occasion of including many instances of this
model, an .oct octree is also provided, and so you can instance it in your
scene as follows:
