Ancient Explorer Map Frame Low-poly 3D model

The Ancient Explorer’s Map Frame is a meticulously crafted 3D prop designed to evoke the atmosphere of high adventure, lost expeditions, and fantasy exploration. This asset features a weathered parchment map, aged to perfection with tattered edges, subtle burn marks, and faint creases that speak of countless journeys and forgotten lands. The map is tightly framed within a rugged wooden structure reinforced with hand-forged metal brackets, giving it both durability and a rustic, adventurous appeal.

Each wooden beam in the frame is carved to show stylized hand-painted textures, with uneven grain and blocky shapes that emphasize a fantasy or stylized cartoon look. The metal corners are slightly tarnished and textured, with bolts and rivets that add realism while keeping the polygon count optimized for games. The parchment itself carries faint geographic sketches, mysterious routes, and landmasses, hinting at the possibility of hidden treasures or dangerous quests waiting to be discovered.

Optimized with PBR textures in 2K resolution, this asset includes diffuse, metallic, roughness, and normal maps to capture the depth of aged wood, rusty steel, and ancient parchment fibers. Perfect for fantasy RPGs, pirate adventures, medieval quest games, or stylized cinematic environments, the Ancient Explorer’s Map Frame can serve as a wall-mounted decorative element, a quest-giving notice board, or a central storytelling prop in a player’s journey.

The combination of its rugged stylized design and immersive texture work ensures that it fits seamlessly into both game-ready environments and cinematic renders, providing narrative depth while maintaining efficiency in performance.
