This Seamless 3D Texture features an exquisite 8K resolution PBR chainmail surface, meticulously crafted with an intricate Persian weave pattern composed of polished metal rings. The base substrate is a high-grade metallic alloy, chosen for its durability and ability to achieve a flawless, reflective finish. Each ring is tightly interwoven with precise uniform alignment, creating a dense fabric effect that simulates real chainmail armor with exceptional realism. The polished metal surface enhances the texture’s luxurious, high-quality appearance, showcasing a smooth, highly reflective shine that responds dynamically to lighting and environment, ideal for premium armor designs and fantasy character models.
In terms of material composition, the texture simulates a metal weave bound by interlocking rings, where the metallic base is complemented by subtle oxide layers that contribute to slight variations in color and reflectivity, adding depth without compromising the polished look. The PBR channels are carefully mapped: the BaseColor/Albedo channel captures the cool silvery tones and subtle color shifts of polished steel; the Normal map defines the intricate Persian weave’s three-dimensional ring structure and tight interlocking pattern; the Roughness channel is finely tuned to produce a smooth surface with minimal micro-roughness, allowing light to create the characteristic polished metal gleam; the Metallic map confirms the fully metallic nature of the rings, while Ambient Occlusion adds realistic shadowing within the interstices of the weave. Height and Displacement maps enhance the tactile dimensionality, emphasizing ring curvature and depth variations for detailed close-up renders.
This texture is fully optimized and Unreal, Blender, and Unity ready, ensuring seamless integration into any 3D project pipeline without additional adjustments. Its seamless design allows for infinite tiling without visible borders, perfect for large-scale armor surfaces or game assets requiring consistent detail. For best results, it is recommended to adjust the UV scale to maintain the visible density of the Persian weave pattern at close range, and to fine-tune the roughness values slightly higher if a more subdued, less reflective metal finish is desired, accommodating different artistic styles or environmental lighting conditions.
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.
