The Braided Woven Cotton Fabric (Fabrics 0081) features a distinct braided pattern crafted from natural cotton fibers, a soft and breathable organic material prized for its comfort and durability. This fabric’s base substrate consists of tightly interlaced cotton yarns, creating a textured surface with moderate porosity that enhances airflow and flexibility. The weaving method produces a subtle raised braid effect, adding depth and tactile interest to the material. The ivy-colored dye is applied using high-quality pigments that deliver a consistent, matte finish without compromising the fabric’s natural softness or flexibility.
In terms of physical-based rendering (PBR) channels, the BaseColor or Albedo map captures the rich, muted green hues and subtle tonal variations of the dyed cotton fibers. The Normal map emphasizes the braided weave’s intricate texture, providing realistic light interaction and shadowing that enhances the fabric’s dimensionality. The Roughness map reflects the cotton’s soft, slightly fibrous surface by maintaining a medium-high roughness value, while the Metallic channel remains at zero, as cotton is a non-metallic organic material. Ambient Occlusion highlights the deeper recesses between the braids, adding natural shadowing and depth. The Height or Displacement map subtly accentuates the raised braided pattern, improving surface realism in close-up renders.
This texture is provided in an ultra-high 8K resolution, ensuring exceptional detail and clarity even on close inspection. It is fully optimized and compatible with popular 3D software such as Blender, Unreal Engine, and Unity, making it an excellent choice for realistic garment visualization or interior textile design. For practical usage, it is recommended to carefully adjust the UV scale to maintain the natural proportions of the braided pattern on 3D models, and to fine-tune the roughness parameter depending on lighting conditions to better simulate the soft, matte cotton finish.
Ideal for jumpers, sweaters, and other apparel requiring a natural, comfortable fabric appearance, this braided woven cotton texture provides a versatile, visually appealing solution for digital artists and designers aiming to replicate authentic textile materials with accurate PBR properties.
Using This PBR Texture in Blender
Import the texture maps into Blender with sRGB color space for albedo/base color and
Non-Color for normal, roughness, metallic, AO, height, and ORM maps. Connect normal maps
through a Normal Map node, then adjust UV scale with a Mapping node so the material repeats naturally on
your model.
- Albedo -> Principled BSDF Base Color
- Roughness -> Roughness, Metallic -> Metallic
- Normal -> Normal Map node -> Normal
- Height -> Bump or Displacement depending on render setup
