This seamless 3D PBR texture at 8K resolution masterfully depicts tear drop shaped droplets resting on wet skin, offering an exceptionally photorealistic surface ideal for high-detail character renders and cosmetic visualizations. The base substrate mimics organic skin, characterized by a finely detailed epidermal layer with subtle pore structures and natural oiliness, enhanced by moisture gradients that simulate authentic wetness. The droplet shapes vary in size and form, reflecting real-world surface tension effects, and their distribution follows natural patterns found on hydrated skin. Colorants in the BaseColor channel capture subtle skin tones with delicate translucency, while the wet areas show a slight darkening influenced by moisture absorption. The texture’s surface finish emulates a polished, glossy moist skin appearance, with droplet highlights and reflections sharply defined to convey realism.
In PBR channel terms, the Normal map intricately details micro-surface variations, including the curvature of each tear drop and fine skin pores beneath, adding tangible depth and tactile feel. The Roughness map contrasts the matte, slightly rough skin surface with the glossy, smooth droplets, accurately portraying the interplay between wet and dry areas. The Metallic channel is minimal, as skin is organic and non-metallic, yet it subtly enhances specular reflections on water droplets. Ambient Occlusion emphasizes slight shadows around droplet edges and skin creases, boosting dimensionality. Height/Displacement maps provide fine relief for droplets, enhancing parallax effects and contributing to realistic light interaction on close-up views.
Designed for seamless tiling, this texture is fully compatible and optimized for real-time engines and 3D software including Unreal Engine, Blender, and Unity, ensuring easy integration in various pipelines. At 8K resolution, it delivers exceptional clarity for extreme close-ups without pixelation, preserving every droplet highlight and shadow nuance. For best results, it is recommended to adjust the UV scale to match the character’s skin detail level and to fine-tune roughness values to balance between glossy wetness and natural skin texture, tailoring the moisture intensity to specific artistic needs.
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.
