This seamless 3D texture captures an 8K resolution, photorealistic weathered brick pavement featuring faded paint and patchy grass cracks growing naturally between the bricks. The base material consists of ceramic clay bricks bonded by a traditional mineral-rich mortar, enhanced by organic debris and soil that infiltrates the cracks. Over time, environmental exposure causes the bricks’ pigment layers to fade unevenly, revealing subtle oxide discolorations and wear patterns. The surface finish is predominantly rough and dry, emphasizing natural erosion, chipped edges, and granular porosity, all contributing to the authentic aged look. The patchy grass growing sporadically through fractures adds an organic contrast to the mineral substrate, illustrating vegetation intrusion typical in abandoned urban or park environments.
In this PBR texture set, the BaseColor/Albedo channel reflects the muted reds and grays of weathered brick with soft, faded paint remnants, while the Normal map accentuates the rough surface detail, chipped edges, and subtle grass blades emerging from the cracks. The Roughness map highlights the varied surface wear—from smoother, eroded paint spots to coarse, dry brick faces—creating realistic light diffusion. The Metallic channel remains near zero, consistent with non-metallic ceramic brick material, whereas the Ambient Occlusion enhances depth perception around mortar joints and grass crevices. The Height/Displacement map provides fine elevation differences, allowing realistic parallax effects for close-up renders. This texture is fully optimized and Unreal, Blender, and Unity ready, ensuring seamless tiling and high fidelity in any 3D outdoor or urban scene.
Ideal for 3D models requiring authentic weathered brick surfaces with natural imperfections, this texture can be applied to pavements, walkways, or walls where natural aging and vegetation intrusion are essential visual elements. For best results, adjusting the UV scale to slightly larger than real-world size enhances the visibility of detailed grass cracks and paint fading. Additionally, fine-tuning the roughness values can balance reflectivity for wet or dry surface variations, while using the height map for subtle parallax displacement adds tactile realism in close camera views.
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.
