Japanese Bonsai - Japanese Maple with Golden Late-Autumn Foliage (Kinun) | VRChat World Prop

A Japanese-style bonsai 3D prop for VRChat worlds and homes.

This one is a Japanese maple (momiji, Acer palmatum) with wide-spreading branches.

This one wears the gold of late autumn, the last colour a maple takes before the

leaves fall. The same thick, twisting old trunk sends its branches out wide to either

side, and every tip is hung with amber. It is named "Kinun", meaning golden cloud.

- Low-poly: approx. 8,759 triangles, 1 material

- 2K colour texture (2048x2048)

- Approx. 40cm tall including the pot

- Pot, moss and soil modelled as one piece

- PC ready (Quest version in preparation)

THREE LEAF COLOURS

The same tree in three colours, sold separately. Pick the season your world is in,

AI DISCLOSURE (AI-Assisted)

What was generated by AI:

The base 3D mesh and its base-colour texture were generated with Meshy, an

image-to-3D AI tool. The input was a reference image of a bonsai that we prepared

ourselves; no third-party artwork or scanned model was used as input.

What was done by hand, without AI:

Retopology and decimation to a VRChat-friendly triangle budget, material setup,

scaling to real-world size, prefab construction, multi-angle quality inspection,

product photography and packaging. The golden late-autumn foliage of this variant was produced by a

deterministic hue transform of the baked texture written by us - no AI was involved

in the recolouring, and the geometry is unchanged from the crimson original.

Rights basis:

The model was generated under a paid Meshy plan, which grants full commercial and

resale rights to the output. Meshy states that its models are trained on legally

obtained, properly licensed data.
