This seamless 3D texture showcases an exceptionally detailed depiction of skull cracks, bone fragments, and skeleton bones with photorealistic quality rendered in 8K resolution. The material composition suggests an organic bone substrate characterized by porous, weathered surfaces with naturally fractured and eroded features. These intricate cracks and fine bone splinters reveal the underlying grain orientation and fibrous structure typical of aged skeletal remains. The surface finish emulates a rough, matte bone texture with subtle mineral deposits and oxidized discolorations, enhanced by muted off-white and grayish pigments that simulate natural bone coloration affected by time and environmental exposure. The presence of dusty cobwebs and peeling paint effects further accentuates the aged, creepy atmosphere, adding depth and authenticity to horror-themed or Halloween models and scenes.
In terms of PBR channels, the BaseColor (Albedo) map captures the subtle color variations of the bone substrate, including weathered yellows, grays, and off-whites, while the Normal map defines the intricate topography of cracks, fractures, and bone fragments, providing pronounced surface depth and fine detail. The Roughness channel reflects the naturally uneven, matte finish of bone with non-reflective, porous areas contrasted by slightly smoother worn patches. The Metallic map is effectively zero, consistent with organic materials, ensuring no unnatural reflections. Ambient Occlusion enhances the shadows within deep fissures and crevices, emphasizing the texture’s three-dimensionality. The Height (Displacement) map accurately portrays the fractured and uneven surface elevation, crucial for realistic parallax effects and enhanced depth perception in real-time engines.
Optimized for seamless tiling, this texture allows extended coverage over large skeletal structures or props without visible repetition, making it ideal for use in Blender, Unreal Engine, and Unity pipelines. The 8K resolution ensures maximum detail retention even on close camera views, which is essential for high-fidelity horror-themed projects. For practical application, it is recommended to carefully adjust the UV scale to maintain realistic bone proportions and to fine-tune roughness values to balance between the matte porous bone and subtle glossy patches where wear or moisture might be implied. Utilizing the height map with parallax occlusion mapping or tessellation will further enhance the immersive quality of skeletal models, bringing out the fractured bone details with convincing depth.
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 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.
