Zen Garden Rock Formations and Bonsai Set

This 3ds Max scene contains three detailed Zen garden vignettes featuring textured rock formations, bonsai trees, and raked white sand. The collection comprises three distinct landscape arrangements, each composed of weathered grey rock outcrops and meticulously placed bonsai-style trees. The ground plane of each module is finished with a characteristic raked sand pattern, creating a traditional Zen garden aesthetic. The rocks exhibit rugged, layered textures, while the vegetation includes varied foliage densities, from bamboo-like stalks to dense, manicured shrubs. These modules are self-contained, providing balanced compositions that play with scale and negative space, suitable for high-fidelity exterior visualisation where traditional Japanese design elements are required for exterior courtyards or tranquil garden spaces.

The download is a 228 MB compressed archive containing the native 3ds Max (.max) model holding 3 separate objects, set up with Corona materials. Open it in 3ds Max with Corona installed; for other programs, export to FBX or OBJ from 3ds Max first.

Users can merge these garden modules into larger exterior scenes within 3ds Max. The assets are organised to allow for easy placement on flat terrain or terrace platforms. Given the density of the foliage and rock geometry, it is recommended to manage these as proxy objects or instances to maintain viewport performance. Adjusting the tiling or scale of the sand texture will help integrate these vignettes into the specific site context of your project, ensuring seamless transitions between the garden and surrounding architectural elements.
