The Weathered Birch Bark Texture Seamless high resolution up to 8ktexture captures the intricate organic composition of aged birch bark with remarkable fidelity. This AI texture replicates the natural wood substrate, featuring fibrous grain orientation and subtle porosity that result from prolonged environmental exposure. The surface finish exhibits a weathered, slightly roughened patina, highlighting natural pigment variations including pale cream tones interspersed with muted browns and grays from accumulated organic matter and oxidized layers. These characteristics create an authentic bark appearance, with micro-detail emphasizing the unique fissures, peeling layers, and textured ridges typical of birch bark’s weathered state.
In physically based rendering (PBR) workflows, this tileable weathered birch bark texture seamless high resolution up to 8k excels across multiple material channels. The BaseColor/Albedo channel presents the subtle color gradations and natural pigments of the bark, while the Normal map delivers precise surface relief that enhances the perception of depth and grain direction. Roughness values are carefully tuned to reflect the semi-rough, matte finish of weathered bark, avoiding unwanted glossiness. The Metallic channel remains minimal, as organic bark has negligible metal content, while Ambient Occlusion strengthens shadows within crevices for added realism. Height/Displacement maps capture the bark’s peeling layers and ridges, allowing for convincing parallax effects when used in modern engines.
Designed to accelerate workflows in Blender, Unreal Engine, and Unity, this high-resolution texture maintains clarity and cohesion even on large UV islands, supporting seamless tiling without visible edges. Its 8k resolution ensures that fine details remain crisp and production-ready, ideal for environment art, architectural visualization, concept prototyping, and quick look development. For optimal results, it is recommended to match texel density across assets and keep UVs uniform to avoid distortion or stretching. Adjusting roughness levels can further tailor the material’s tactile response depending on lighting conditions, enhancing realism in any digital scene or real-time application.
This AI texture features a seamless weathered birch bark texture seamless high resolution up to 8k, offering highly detailed bark textures with a realistic PBR appearance and an interactive 3D preview for precise material assessment.
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)
- Enable the addon: Edit → Preferences → Add-ons → Node Wrangler.
- Create a material and select the Principled BSDF node.
- 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.
- Add AO and Height using the “Manual wiring” steps below (5 and 6).
Manual wiring (full control)
- Create a material (Material Properties → New) and open the Shader Editor.
- Add an Image Texture node for each map. Set Color Space:
- Albedo → sRGB
- AO, Roughness, Metallic, Normal, Height, ORM → Non-Color
- Connect to Principled BSDF:
albedo → Base Colorroughness → Roughnessmetallic → Metallic (for wood this often stays near 0)normal → Normal Map node (Type: Tangent Space) → Normal of Principled.
If details look “inverted”, enable Invert Y on the Normal Map node.
- 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).
- Height / Displacement:
Cycles — true displacement
- Material Properties → Settings → Displacement: Displacement and Bump.
- Add a Displacement node: connect
height → Height, set Midlevel = 0.5, Scale = 0.02–0.08 (tune to taste).
- Output of Displacement → Material Output → Displacement.
- Add geometry density (e.g., Subdivision Surface) so displacement has polygons to work with.
Eevee (or lightweight Cycles) — bump only
- Add a Bump node:
height → Height.
- 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:
- Add one Image Texture (Non-Color) → Separate RGB (or Separate Color).
- R (red) → AO (use it in the Multiply node with albedo as above).
- G (green) → Roughness of Principled.
- B (blue) → Metallic of Principled.
UVs & seamless tiling
- These textures are seamless. If your mesh has no UVs, go to UV Editing → Smart UV Project.
- 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.
