Parametric Natural Wood Bench S-3.2

This parametric natural wood bench for 3ds Max features a distinct slatted form with organic, flowing curves and a hollow interior. Constructed from a series of vertical plywood slats, this bench showcases a complex, undulating silhouette reminiscent of fluid, wave-like motion. The design utilizes a layered assembly technique, creating a hollow, tunnel-like base that maintains structural lightness while providing a striking visual profile. Each component is held together by metal hardware visible at the end panels. The light timber grain is consistent across all segments, highlighting the repetitive, rhythmic nature of the slats. Its ergonomic contouring provides a seamless transition from the backrest to the seating surface, defining a contemporary sculptural aesthetic.

The download is a 13 MB compressed archive containing the native 3ds Max (.max) model, set up with V-Ray materials. Open it in 3ds Max with V-Ray installed; for other programs, export to FBX or OBJ from 3ds Max first.

In 3ds Max, this model is structured as a cohesive assembly, allowing for efficient placement within architectural scenes. Users should verify the pivot point alignment upon insertion to ensure accurate positioning on floor planes. Given the high density of geometry from the individual slats, it is recommended to manage viewport performance by grouping elements or using display layers. Texture mapping is applied to follow the grain direction, which can be adjusted via UVW Map modifiers to match specific scene lighting.
