About this asset

This traditional 3ds Max model set includes a detailed Cua Vong archway and Hoanh Phi plaque featuring intricate wood carvings. The set comprises two distinct architectural elements designed for traditional interior settings. The Cua Vong is an open-work, U-shaped screen featuring dense, ornate carvings of floral motifs and mythological creatures, offering a high level of geometric complexity. Accompanying it is a rectangular Hoanh Phi, a horizontal plaque bordered by a geometric frame. The plaque features a central scroll motif with raised calligraphic characters. Both pieces demonstrate a consistent natural wood grain aesthetic, with deep relief carving that captures light and shadow effectively, suitable for high-end rendering of heritage or culturally-specific interior spaces.

The download is a 42.5 MB compressed archive containing the native 3ds Max (.max) model holding 2 separate objects. Open it in 3ds Max; for other programs, export to FBX or OBJ from 3ds Max first.

Users should import these elements into their 3ds Max scene as a single group, maintaining the pivot points for precise alignment above door frames or within alcoves. The materials are mapped to accommodate standard wood shaders; adjust the bump or displacement maps to enhance the depth of the intricate carvings during close-up renders. Ensure the scale is set to real-world units before final placement to maintain the correct proportions relative to standard door openings or interior wall heights.

These decorative elements are essential for authenticating interior visualisations of traditional Vietnamese homes, ancestral altars, or heritage-style hospitality projects. They function as focal points in dining rooms or entrance halls, providing cultural depth to the space. Professionals might search for these as architectural wood carvings, altar room decor, or traditional interior ornamentation. They pair effectively with dark-stained timber furniture, silk wall coverings, and warm, ambient lighting to create a refined, respectful atmosphere in residential or public heritage restoration projects.
