This 3ds Max model set features four Acer platanoides Norway Maple trees, each representing a distinct stage of growth for landscape design. This collection provides four distinct 3D models of the Acer platanoides, commonly known as the Norway Maple, spanning from sapling to mature tree. The assets are rendered with dense, realistic foliage that captures the characteristic lobed leaf shape and canopy structure of the species. Each model is scaled to reflect progressive development, making this set suitable for demonstrating site maturation over time. The geometry is clean, focusing on accurate silhouettes and natural branching patterns suitable for both close-up architectural visualisations and broader masterplan site studies where tree variety is essential for authenticity.
The download is a 75.3 MB compressed archive containing the native 3ds Max (.max) model holding 4 separate objects. Open it in 3ds Max; for other programs, export to FBX or OBJ from 3ds Max first.
In 3ds Max, these assets should be managed using proxies or instances to maintain scene performance when populating large landscape areas. Users can easily scatter these models across site plans or integrate them into project environments using standard object placement tools. Material maps for the leaves and bark are typically assigned via standard material editors, allowing for seasonal colour adjustments or lighting tweaks to match the specific environmental conditions of the master render, ensuring consistent visual integration within the project.

These Norway Maple trees are essential for architects and landscape designers working on residential developments, urban plazas, and public park projects. They are ideal for adding natural context to site plans, elevations, and exterior walk-throughs during the concept and planning stages. By incorporating these models, designers can effectively communicate the impact of mature planting schemes on building scale and outdoor amenity spaces. They pair well with various hardscaping elements, such as stone paving, timber benches, and modern exterior lighting fixtures.
