Soft Circular Swirl Scratches free download

This photorealistic transparent decal features soft, circular swirl scratches ideal for adding subtle wear and realistic texture over surfaces in digital art and 3D projects. The decal’s fine scratch lines emulate gentle spiral swirling abrasion commonly found on used metal, plastic, or glass surfaces. The partial transparency and feathered edges ensure a seamless overlay that integrates well without harsh outlines or shadowing. Use this decal within Photoshop or Blender to enrich metal panels, painted objects, or glass with naturalistic swirl scratch marks that suggest gradual wear or cleaning mishaps. In Unreal Engine, the decal maps can enhance environment details by layering these subtle scratches over vehicles, machinery, or props under neutral lighting conditions. The recommended Multiply blend mode helps these scratches interact naturally with base colors, darkening worn areas and preserving underlying highlights. This decal works well on smooth and reflective materials where swirl wear is plausible, adding realism and story to your assets without overpowering the surface appearance.
