This seamless 3D texture features premium hickory wood as its base substrate, enhanced by a distinctive birdseye maple figure that adds a rare and exquisite pattern to the surface. The wood exhibits a medium brown, exotic tone with natural grain orientation and fine pores that are carefully preserved to highlight the material’s organic complexity. The subtle matte finish softens reflections and mimics a lightly sanded or finely brushed surface, lending a tactile, natural feel ideal for luxury wood product visualizations. Adhesive binders and natural resins inherent to hickory wood contribute to its durability and density, while the birdseye figure introduces localized variations in fiber alignment that create the characteristic swirling and knot-like details visible in the texture.
Rendered at an impressive 8K resolution using physically based rendering (PBR) workflows, this texture captures intricate grain flow and surface microstructure with exceptional clarity. The BaseColor (Albedo) channel accurately reproduces the medium brown hues and subtle color variation caused by natural pigments and oxide layers within the wood fibers. The Normal map enhances the perception of fine pores and grain undulations, providing depth without geometric complexity. Roughness values reflect the matte finish, offering moderate light diffusion that prevents glossy glare while preserving realistic surface interactions. The Metallic channel remains near zero, consistent with non-metallic organic wood, while Ambient Occlusion emphasizes shadowed crevices around the birdseye figure. Height and Displacement maps enable subtle parallax effects for enhanced realism in close-up renders.
Designed for seamless tiling, this texture is optimized for continuous use across large surfaces without visible repetition, making it ideal for 3D furniture, cabinetry, and luxury wood product visualization in Blender, Unreal Engine, and Unity. To achieve the best visual results, it is recommended to adjust the UV scale to maintain the natural grain proportions and fine details of the birdseye maple figure. Additionally, fine-tuning the roughness parameter can help balance between a softer matte look or a slightly polished finish depending on project requirements, while subtle displacement mapping can reinforce the tactile quality of the wood surface in high-quality renders.
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.
