About this asset

Oriental hanging paper lanterns available as a versatile SketchUp model set, showcasing diverse traditional festive shapes, calligraphy, and tassel trims. This collection features fifteen distinct Asian lantern designs across cylindrical, spherical, pumpkin, and stacked configurations. Rendered in traditional festive tones of crimson red, vibrant yellow, warm cream, and charcoal black, several units display calligraphic artwork, auspicious characters, and geometric lattice textures. Variants range from single overhead pendants to vertically strung multi-tier clusters, providing a comprehensive library of classic decorative lighting elements.

The download is a 12 MB compressed archive containing the native SketchUp (.skp) model holding 15 separate objects. It opens directly in SketchUp; for 3ds Max, Blender or Cinema 4D, import it through a SketchUp importer or convert it first.

Supplied as native SketchUp components, each lantern can be separated, duplicated, or placed as individual fixtures within a scene. Designers can easily adjust suspension cable lengths using standard move and scale tools. Pre-applied texture maps handle typography and translucent surface patterns, allowing users to embed self-illuminating V-Ray or Enscape light sources inside the geometry to achieve an authentic glowing lantern effect.

Ideal for hospitality, retail, and cultural architecture, these decorative luminaires suit Asian dining spaces, izakayas, tea houses, themed courtyards, and festival streetscapes. They pair seamlessly with timber pergolas, bamboo screening, and traditional joinery during conceptual and presentation phases. Visualisers seeking Chinese lanterns, Mid-Autumn festival decor, traditional Asian paper lamps, or festive banquet lighting will find this varied assortment immediately adaptable across exterior street renders and ambient interior schemes.
