This seamless 3D texture showcases a sophisticated glass facade designed for modern architectural visualization, combining mirror and frosted glass panels interlaced with a fine metal mesh. The primary base material is high-quality glass, exhibiting both reflective mirror-like surfaces and diffused frosted finishes. These glass elements are supported by a subtle metal framework that mimics the structural mesh often used in contemporary curtain wall systems. The geometric form is a carefully arranged grid pattern where rectangular glass panels alternate between clear mirror glass and semi-opaque frosted glass, intersected by slender metal strips that provide depth and structural realism.

The composition reflects real-world materials: the glass panels are made from a silica-based substrate with varying surface treatments. Mirror glass areas have a polished finish with minimal surface roughness, achieved through a reflective metallic coating applied behind the glass substrate, which is mapped to the Metallic and Roughness channels in the PBR workflow. Frosted glass regions simulate light diffusion via micro-etching on the surface, increasing roughness and scattering reflected light. The metal mesh is represented as a brushed stainless steel alloy, including subtle grain and oxidation patterns to avoid flatness. This metal exhibits moderate metallic values and low roughness to balance reflectivity with surface texture.

The texture’s PBR maps are meticulously crafted to enhance realism: the BaseColor (Albedo) combines neutral cool grays and subtle blue-green tints typical of glass, with the metal mesh showing muted steel tones. The Normal map captures the fine details of the etched frosted glass and the raised metal mesh grid, adding dimensionality to lighting interactions. The Roughness map differentiates between the glossy mirror surfaces and the matte frosted areas, while Metallic maps clearly define metal components. Ambient Occlusion enhances the perception of depth around the mesh intersections and panel edges, and Height/Displacement maps provide subtle relief for panel separations and surface imperfections, vital for close-up renders.

Rendered at an outstanding 8K resolution, this texture ensures exceptional detail and clarity even on large facade surfaces, making it fully compatible and optimized for Blender, Unreal Engine, and Unity workflows. Its seamless design allows for uniform application across expansive architectural models without visible tiling or seam artifacts. For best results in practical use, adjusting UV scale to align the metal mesh precisely with the underlying geometry is recommended. Additionally, fine-tuning the roughness values can help balance reflections under different lighting conditions, and blending height or parallax maps subtly with normals can enhance the perceived depth of the metal framework and glass panel edges.

How to Use These Seamless PBR Textures in Blender

This guide shows how to connect a full PBR texture set to Principled BSDF in Blender (Cycles or Eevee). Works with any of our seamless textures free download, including PBR PNG materials for Blender / Unreal / Unity.

What’s inside the download

  • *_albedo.png — Base Color (sRGB)
  • *_normal.png — Normal map (Non-Color)
  • *_roughness.png — Roughness (Non-Color)
  • *_metallic.png — Metallic (Non-Color)
  • *_ao.png — Ambient Occlusion (Non-Color)
  • *_height.png — Height / Displacement (Non-Color)
  • *_ORM.png — Packed map (R=AO, G=Roughness, B=Metallic, Non-Color)

Quick start (Node Wrangler, 30 seconds)

  1. Enable the addon: Edit → Preferences → Add-ons → Node Wrangler.
  2. Create a material and select the Principled BSDF node.
  3. Press Ctrl + Shift + T and select the maps albedo, normal, roughness, metallic (skip height and ORM for now) → Open. The addon wires Base Color, Normal (with a Normal Map node), Roughness, and Metallic automatically.
  4. Add AO and Height using the “Manual wiring” steps below (5 and 6).

Manual wiring (full control)

  1. Create a material (Material Properties → New) and open the Shader Editor.
  2. Add an Image Texture node for each map. Set Color Space:
    • AlbedosRGB
    • AO, Roughness, Metallic, Normal, Height, ORMNon-Color
  3. Connect to Principled BSDF:
    • albedoBase Color
    • roughnessRoughness
    • metallicMetallic (for wood this often stays near 0)
    • normalNormal Map node (Type: Tangent Space) → Normal of Principled. If details look “inverted”, enable Invert Y on the Normal Map node.
  4. Ambient Occlusion (AO):
    • Add a MixRGB (or Mix Color) node in mode Multiply.
    • Input A = albedo, Input B = ao, Factor = 1.0.
    • Output of Mix → Base Color of Principled (replaces the direct albedo connection).
  5. Height / Displacement:
    Cycles — true displacement
    1. Material Properties → SettingsDisplacement: Displacement and Bump.
    2. Add a Displacement node: connect heightHeight, set Midlevel = 0.5, Scale = 0.02–0.08 (tune to taste).
    3. Output of Displacement → Material Output → Displacement.
    4. Add geometry density (e.g., Subdivision Surface) so displacement has polygons to work with.
    Eevee (or lightweight Cycles) — bump only
    1. Add a Bump node: heightHeight.
    2. Set Strength = 0.2–0.5, Distance = 0.05–0.1, and connect Normal output to Principled’s Normal.

Using the packed ORM texture (optional)

Instead of separate AO/Roughness/Metallic maps you can use the single *_ORM.png:

  1. Add one Image Texture (Non-Color) → Separate RGB (or Separate Color).
  2. R (red) → AO (use it in the Multiply node with albedo as above).
  3. G (green) → Roughness of Principled.
  4. B (blue) → Metallic of Principled.

UVs & seamless tiling

  1. These textures are seamless. If your mesh has no UVs, go to UV EditingSmart UV Project.
  2. For scale/repeat, add Texture Coordinate (UV)Mapping and plug it into all texture nodes. Increase Mapping → Scale (e.g., 2/2/2) to tile more densely.

Recommended starter values

  • Normal Map Strength: 0.5–1.0
  • Bump Strength: ~0.3
  • Displacement Scale (Cycles): ~0.03

Common pitfalls

  • Wrong Color Space (normals/roughness/etc. must be Non-Color).
  • “Inverted” details → enable Invert Y on the Normal Map node.
  • Over-strong relief → lower Displacement Scale or Bump Strength.
