The Dry Molten Surface Texture is an AI-generated seamless texture meticulously crafted to represent a rugged volcanic substrate characterized by cooled dry mineral crusts formed through rapid solidification of molten lava flows. This texture simulates complex surface features including fine-grained crystalline aggregates interspersed with porous vesicles and microfractures typical of volcanic rock surfaces. Its composition suggests a natural ceramic-like base rich in iron and silicate minerals with subtle oxide layers imparting warm reddish-brown to dark gray hues. The texture’s surface finish mimics a matte slightly roughened appearance showcasing weathering effects such as minor erosion and heat-induced discoloration which adds authenticity to 3D materials used in environment art and architectural visualization.

In physically based rendering (PBR) workflows this dry molten surface texture excels by providing well-defined BaseColor maps with nuanced pigment variations reflecting mineral deposits and oxidation patterns. The Normal map captures the intricate grain orientation micro-cracks and porous cavities enhancing surface depth without exaggeration. Roughness channels are finely tuned to reproduce the semi-rough matte finish with controlled noise avoiding overly glossy reflections while maintaining clarity. Metallic values remain low to emulate the non-metallic nature of volcanic rock whereas Ambient Occlusion maps emphasize crevices and surface breaks lending realistic shadowing and cohesion. Height or Displacement maps outline subtle elevation shifts for enhanced parallax effects crucial for large UV islands in modern pipelines.

Designed for high-resolution applications this texture supports seamless tiling up to 8K ensuring crisp detail and cohesion even when stretched across extensive surfaces. It integrates effortlessly into contemporary 3D workflows compatible out of the box with Blender Unreal Engine and Unity facilitating rapid iteration and look development. Artists and developers benefit from the included 3D preview capabilities enabling real-time visualization and fine-tuning. For optimal results it is recommended to adjust UV scale moderately to preserve detail density and to combine the texture with a subtle ambient occlusion and a light normal map pass. This enhances surface breakup and depth perception without introducing harsh edges or visual noise making it ideal for concept prototyping and environment creation involving realistic lava textures.

The AI-generated dry molten surface texture exhibits a seamless tileable quality with a distinct dry molten surface texture that enhances realistic PBR material composition.

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)

  1. Enable the addon: Edit → Preferences → Add-ons → Node Wrangler.
  2. Create a material and select the Principled BSDF node.
  3. 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.
  4. Add AO and Height using the “Manual wiring” steps below (5 and 6).

Manual wiring (full control)

  1. Create a material (Material Properties → New) and open the Shader Editor.
  2. Add an Image Texture node for each map. Set Color Space:
    • AlbedosRGB
    • AO, Roughness, Metallic, Normal, Height, ORMNon-Color
  3. Connect to Principled BSDF:
    • albedoBase Color
    • roughnessRoughness
    • metallicMetallic (for wood this often stays near 0)
    • normalNormal Map node (Type: Tangent Space) → Normal of Principled. If details look “inverted”, enable Invert Y on the Normal Map node.
  4. 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).
  5. Height / Displacement:
    Cycles — true displacement
    1. Material Properties → SettingsDisplacement: Displacement and Bump.
    2. Add a Displacement node: connect heightHeight, set Midlevel = 0.5, Scale = 0.02–0.08 (tune to taste).
    3. Output of Displacement → Material Output → Displacement.
    4. Add geometry density (e.g., Subdivision Surface) so displacement has polygons to work with.
    Eevee (or lightweight Cycles) — bump only
    1. Add a Bump node: heightHeight.
    2. 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:

  1. Add one Image Texture (Non-Color) → Separate RGB (or Separate Color).
  2. R (red) → AO (use it in the Multiply node with albedo as above).
  3. G (green) → Roughness of Principled.
  4. B (blue) → Metallic of Principled.

UVs & seamless tiling

  1. These textures are seamless. If your mesh has no UVs, go to UV EditingSmart UV Project.
  2. 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.
