This seamless 3d texture presents an ultra-high-definition 8k resolution portrayal of pale gray cirrus filaments, designed with photorealistic precision for PBR workflows. The material simulates a delicate, organic cloud diffusion pattern, reminiscent of fine mineral or organic fiber substrates interwoven with subtle translucency. The base composition suggests a lightweight, porous structure similar to ethereal polymer or cellulose fibers, with a soft matte finish that captures the diffuse scattering of light. Pigments in pale gray tones create a neutral, atmospheric color palette, while micro-variations in filament orientation convey the natural randomness found in real cirrus cloud formations.
In PBR channels, the BaseColor/Albedo reflects the gentle pale gray pigments with a low saturation that emphasizes natural softness without harsh contrast. The Normal map subtly enhances the fine fibrous texture, adding delicate surface undulations to mimic the thin, wispy cloud strands. Roughness is tuned to a mid-high range, producing a soft, non-reflective finish that emphasizes diffuse light scattering rather than specular highlights. Metallic values remain at zero, consistent with the organic nature of the texture. Ambient Occlusion maps add subtle shadowing within filament intersections for depth, while Height/Displacement channels provide fine relief details that help maintain realism when viewed up close or with parallax effects.
Optimized for seamless tiling, this texture integrates naturally into environmental backgrounds and atmospheric effects within 3D scenes, ensuring continuous cloud coverage without visible repetition. It is fully compatible and unreal blender ready for use in Blender, Unreal Engine, or Unity, making it a versatile resource for game developers and visual artists alike. For best results, adjusting the UV scale to maintain filament detail and finely tuning roughness can enhance the ethereal appearance, while moderate height map strength can add convincing depth without distorting the delicate structure.
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

— 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 Color
roughness
→ Roughness
metallic
→ 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.
