This seamless 8k PBR 3d texture showcases a rich plaid wool fabric surface, expertly crafted to replicate the warm, cozy qualities of traditional flannel textile. The base material is an organic wool substrate, featuring tightly woven fibers that create a dense, soft yet durable fabric ideal for winter clothing and holiday-themed decorations. The natural wool fibers exhibit subtle micro-variations in thickness and orientation, which are captured in the texture’s detailed weave pattern and surface porosity. The fabric’s surface finish has a matte, slightly brushed feel typical of warm flannel, with no reflective gloss, emphasizing its insulating properties and natural softness. The color palette centers on festive red and green dye pigments arranged in classic plaid stripes, enhanced with muted earth tones for a balanced, photorealistic appearance.
In PBR channels, the BaseColor (Albedo) map reveals the vivid, yet natural wool dyes and intricate plaid design, while the Normal map accurately simulates the fine weave and raised wool fibers, adding tactile depth to the fabric’s surface. The Roughness map reflects the soft, brushed finish with moderate roughness values to avoid glare, ensuring a diffuse, cozy look under neutral flat lighting. Metallic is kept minimal to none, as organic wool inherently lacks reflective metal components, while Ambient Occlusion enhances subtle shadowing within the weave crevices, increasing depth perception. The Height/Displacement map captures the fine fiber elevation and fabric folds, allowing for realistic parallax effects in supported 3d engines.
Rendered at an ultra-high 8k resolution, this seamless texture is optimized for use in Unreal Engine, Blender, and Unity, making it ideal for detailed winter apparel, festive textile surfaces, or holiday-themed 3d environments. The tileable nature ensures smooth repetition without visible seams, perfect for large-scale projects requiring high fidelity. For optimal results, it is recommended to adjust the UV scale to match garment patterns realistically and fine-tune roughness slightly to accommodate different lighting conditions, enhancing the natural wool softness or the subtle shadowing within the weave.
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.
