A realistic 3D model of a Golden Barrel Cactus (Echinocactus grusonii) featuring its iconic round body, pronounced ribs, and dense radial spines. The surface is carefully detailed to capture the natural color gradient from deep green to yellow-green, with fine thorn patterns and slightly stylized proportions suitable for various visual environments. This asset represents a true cactus species modeled with high botanical accuracy and optimized topology for easy placement in 3D scenes.
