This seamless 3D texture showcases a luxurious crimson red velvet fabric rendered in ultra-high 8K resolution, designed to capture the intricate material composition and visual richness of genuine velvet textiles. The base substrate mimics a dense organic fiber weave typical of velvet, where fine polymer fibers create a plush surface with subtle directional grain. Colorants are represented by deep red dyes blended with pigment layers that enhance the fabric’s saturated hue, while festive sparkle enhancements simulate microscopic reflective particles embedded within the fibers. The surface finish appears soft and matte with a faint sheen, replicating the tactile softness and natural depth of velvet, and the texture’s seamless design ensures it tiles endlessly without visible seams or distortions, ideal for large-scale digital applications.
In terms of PBR channel mapping, the BaseColor/Albedo map conveys the rich crimson red tone with subtle tonal shifts to reflect velvet’s natural color variation. The Normal map captures the fine fiber orientation and plush pile height, giving convincing depth and light interaction. Roughness is finely tuned to represent the soft velvet finish, with low specularity but slight variance where the sparkle particles catch light, while the Metallic channel remains neutral to reflect the organic fiber base. Ambient Occlusion enhances the fabric’s folds and texture crevices, adding realism by simulating shadowing in dense fiber clusters. The Height/Displacement map provides gentle surface undulations, emphasizing the tactile quality of the velvet pile and enabling realistic parallax effects in supported engines.
This texture is fully optimized and ready for seamless integration into Blender, Unreal Engine, and Unity projects, supporting physically based rendering workflows with its comprehensive PBR maps and exceptional detail at 8K resolution. For practical use, adjusting the UV scale to match real-world textile dimensions helps maintain the fabric’s natural appearance, while fine-tuning the roughness channel can enhance or soften the sparkle effect depending on lighting conditions. This velvet fabric texture is ideal for creating warm, luxurious holiday-themed digital textiles and decorations that evoke festive elegance and depth across various 3D and game development 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.
