Soft Feathered Scuff Marks free download

This photorealistic soft feathered scuff mark decal is designed for use in digital texturing workflows such as Photoshop, Blender, or game engines like Unreal Engine. It features naturally feathered edges and partial transparency for seamless overlay on a variety of surface materials including painted metal, plastic, and composite coatings. The decal helps simulate subtle surface abrasion caused by friction, dragging, or repeated handling without harsh edges or distracting shadows, which makes it ideal for adding realistic wear and tear to vehicles, machinery, weapons, or industrial props. When applied in Photoshop, placing this decal layer above your base texture and setting the blend mode to Multiply will darken underlying colors subtly, enhancing the scuffed appearance while preserving highlights. In Blender or Unreal, this decal can be placed on a decal mesh or decal projector with Multiply blending to integrate naturally with base materials. The decal's soft edges help prevent ugly hard lines, ensuring an organic feel, especially useful when building grunge or weathered surfaces. Use scaling and rotation to vary the effect and layer multiple instances for complex wear patterns. This decal supports partial transparency for edges and center fading, allowing it to blend beautifully on matte or gloss finishes without requiring modification of the original shader lighting. It is particularly effective on mid-tone backgrounds but can also add believable wear on dark or light surfaces due to its subtle textural variation. Overall, this decal is a versatile addition to any grq
