Soft Circular Swirl Scratches free download

This decal features photorealistic soft, circular swirl scratches designed for layering over surfaces in digital 3D rendering software like Blender or game engines such as Unreal Engine, as well as in 2D software like Photoshop to add realistic wear and tear details. Its subtle, feathered edges ensure it blends seamlessly with different base materials such as car paint, plastic, or metal without harsh cutoffs. The partial transparency within the decal mimics the natural variation found in swirl marks, enhancing realism and avoiding overly harsh or artificial appearance. Using the Multiply blend mode allows the decal to darken underlying colors naturally, ensuring the swirl scratches look like embedded imperfections rather than flat overlays. This makes it ideal for enhancing realism on automotive textures, machinery surfaces, or tech gadgets by simulating real-life circular fine abrasions caused by polishing or cleaning. The decal’s neutral lighting and lack of shadows or perspective distortions guarantee it integrates well into scenes regardless of lighting environment or camera angle. Artists can use this decal to quickly add subtle depth and aged character to otherwise pristine surfaces, saving time while achieving professional effects. Typical use cases include texturing car bumpers, motorcycles, helmets, metallic devices, or stylized props in games and films where realistic detail is key. Blend the decal with base albedo maps or use it as a mask for roughness or specular to simulate worn reflections.
