Rectangular Corten Steel Planter with Trailing Foliage

This 3ds Max model features a rectangular corten steel planter filled with a dense arrangement of upright grasses and trailing foliage. Constructed as a clean-lined rectangular trough, the planter is finished in a weathered, rusted corten steel patina. The organic content provides a sharp contrast to the rigid metal form, consisting of three central clusters of upright, blade-like ornamental grasses. These are complemented by delicate, cascading stems featuring small, light-coloured buds that spill over the long edges of the container. The overall geometry is simple and modular, designed to ground architectural spaces with a mix of industrial texture and soft, natural greenery. The foliage density creates a realistic, layered appearance suitable for close-up visualisation.

The download is a 24 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.

To integrate this asset into a 3ds Max scene, use the native object grouping to manage the planter and foliage separately if lighting adjustments are required. The textures are mapped to handle the rust variations on the steel surfaces and the translucency of the leaves. Ensure the pivot point is set to the base for easy alignment with floor planes or terrace surfaces. The model is optimised for efficient viewport performance, allowing for quick placement in large-scale exterior landscaping or interior atrium configurations.
