The monarch is defined by its wing pattern: orange panels divided by heavy black veins, with a black border carrying two rows of white spots. That pattern is a warning signal rather than decoration, and it has to be exact, because it is one of the most widely recognized markings in the natural world.
The mesh is light at 27,804 polygons and 27,691 vertices in quads and tris with non-overlapping UVs, and ships with 6 texture maps at 4096x4096. On a butterfly the texture carries almost everything, since the wings are effectively flat surfaces with an intricate print.
At $79 and built to StemCell specification, it suits nature documentary and education, conservation and migration material, garden and landscape visualization, advertising and games. On sale since 2018.
