This SketchUp model features a collection of traditional Chinese stone ornaments, including guardian lions and decorative plinths. This set contains sixteen distinct stone elements commonly found in traditional Chinese architecture and garden design. It includes two pairs of intricately carved guardian lions, each mounted on a solid block pedestal, and a series of smaller figures set atop square stone columns. Additionally, the collection provides a multi-part stacked stone base or lantern assembly with detailed relief carvings. The geometry captures the weathered, textured appearance of natural stone, with precise attention to the symbolic features of the lions and the ornamental motifs on the pedestals and base sections.
The download is a 50 MB compressed archive containing the native SketchUp (.skp) model holding 16 separate objects. It opens directly in SketchUp; for 3ds Max, Blender or Cinema 4D, import it through a SketchUp importer or convert it first.
In SketchUp, these stone assets are organised as individual components, allowing for easy placement and arrangement within a larger site plan or garden model. Users can apply custom texture maps to the stone surfaces to enhance realism or utilise the native geometry for high-detail exterior visualisations. The modular nature of the base components enables stacking and customisation to suit specific project heights, while the grouping ensures that the model remains manageable during the design development phases of a landscape or architectural project.
