This seamless 3D texture features an intricately detailed spiderweb surface, meticulously crafted for realistic representation in 8K resolution with advanced PBR shading. The base substrate simulates organic fibers of delicate cobweb strands, appearing as fine, almost translucent silk threads. These fibers intertwine in a natural pattern with subtle dust accumulation that adds authenticity and weathering effects. Candle wax remnants cling lightly to the web, introducing faint yellowish color variations and slightly increased roughness on these specific areas. The texture’s porosity mimics the airy, fragile nature of real spiderwebs, while a faint foggy mist overlay enhances its eerie presence. This composition creates a visually rich surface that is perfect for spooky Halloween scenes requiring detailed and atmospheric cobweb visuals.
In terms of PBR channels, the BaseColor/Albedo map presents a muted palette dominated by off-white and pale gray tones with soft yellow hints where candle wax residue occurs. The Normal map captures the fine elevation changes of the thin silk strands and accumulated dust particles, providing convincing surface relief and enhancing light interaction. Roughness values vary subtly, with smoother silk threads contrasted by more textured dust and wax areas, while the Metallic channel remains minimal, reflecting the organic nature of the material. Ambient Occlusion adds depth to the crevices where strands overlap or connect, increasing realism in shadowed areas. The Height/Displacement map emphasizes the delicate layering and irregular surface topology, enabling enhanced parallax effects in compatible engines.
This spiderweb texture is designed for seamless tiling, ensuring perfect continuity on large surfaces without visible borders or repetition artifacts. It is fully optimized and ready for direct use in popular platforms such as Blender, Unreal Engine, and Unity, supporting realistic rendering workflows and dynamic lighting setups. For best results, users should consider adjusting the UV scale to maintain the web’s delicate details and tune the roughness slightly to match scene lighting conditions, enhancing the subtle interplay between light and the fragile silk threads. This approach helps create chilling, immersive Halloween atmospheres with a convincing, naturalistic cobweb presence that integrates effortlessly into various digital environments.
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.
