Fine Linear Surface Scratches free download

This decal provides a highly detailed, photorealistic overlay of fine linear scratches suitable for enhancing 3D models or textures in software like Blender, Unreal Engine, or Photoshop. It simulates subtle wear and tear on a surface, perfect for adding realistic detail to metal panels, plastics, painted surfaces, glass, or other materials that gather fine scratches over time. Because it uses soft feathered edges and partial transparency, it blends naturally with underlying textures without requiring manual masking. Applying it as an overlay layer in Multiply blend mode ensures the scratches darken the surface appropriately, appearing as natural worn spots rather than bright marks. This decal is ideal for environment artists, game developers, and digital painters looking to quickly add convincing surface imperfections without complex shader setups. It can be positioned, layered, and combined with other grunge elements like dust or scuffs to develop rich, lived-in asset appearances.
