Soft Random Crosshatch Texture free download

This soft random crosshatch decal is designed to add subtle texture and visual interest to a variety of digital and 3D projects without overpowering the base material's appearance. The gently feathered and irregular lines simulate natural hand-drawn shading or weathered surface wear, providing a realistic grunge or fabric-like overlay effect. Ideal for use in applications like Photoshop, Blender, or Unreal Engine, this decal can be applied to break up uniform surfaces such as paper, fabric, wood, or metal by enhancing them with delicate shading and nuanced surface detail. The partial transparency within lines allows the underlying material's characteristics to show through, creating depth and richness. Using the decal with the 'Multiply' blend mode is recommended, as it naturally darkens and integrates with the base texture without harsh contrasts or brightening. Apply and scale it to areas needing subtle, organic texture such as worn paper edges, cloth folds, or rough surfaces where a random crosshatch pattern mimics slight wear, dirt, or fine scratches. The soft feathered edges ensure smooth blending without hard lines, enabling seamless compositing in layered materials or environments.
