Contemporary Charcoal Wood Altar Cabinet with Laser-Cut Panels

This contemporary charcoal wood altar cabinet, modelled for 3ds Max, features intricate laser-cut side panels and integrated storage. Designed for dedicated spiritual spaces, this altar cabinet presents a clean, contemporary aesthetic finished in a deep charcoal tone. The structure is defined by tall, vertical side panels with repetitive, decorative laser-cut patterns that allow light to pass through. The upper section provides an open display area for ritual objects, while the lower base incorporates two stacked storage drawers with simple, integrated pulls. A perforated metal grille tops the canopy, adding texture and structural contrast to the timber frame. The compact, vertical footprint makes it suitable for modern interiors requiring a focused, minimalist devotional space.

The download is a 17.4 MB compressed archive containing the native 3ds Max (.max) model, 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.

When working in 3ds Max, treat this model as a single assembly. The geometry is organised for easy placement against flat walls or within custom alcoves. Ensure the pivot point is set to the base for precise floor alignment. Users should check the layer structure to manage the decorative panels and drawer components independently. Apply custom lighting to the interior display area to accentuate the laser-cut shadows cast by the side panels, maintaining consistent material scale across the wood surfaces for a realistic finish.
