This seamless 3D PBR 8K texture showcases vibrant malachite, a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral known for its rich green hues and distinctive banded patterns. The texture highlights the natural formation of malachite’s layered mineral veins, which create alternating bands of deep emerald and lighter green shades. These bands mimic the fibrous, concentric growth seen in real malachite, giving the surface a laminated, veined geometric form. The substrate material reflects the dense crystalline structure of malachite, while subtle inclusions and natural crystal opacity add depth and variation to the surface.

The composition of this texture includes a polished, glossy surface finish typical of malachite used in jewelry and decorative objects. The surface exhibits a smooth, low-roughness characteristic, allowing the natural shimmer and soft reflective qualities of the crystal to come through. The mineral veins act as aggregates embedded within the substrate, and the texture’s normal and height maps capture the fine relief of these bands, emphasizing the subtle undulations and layering. Ambient occlusion channels enhance the perception of depth between the banded veins, while metallic values remain minimal, as malachite is non-metallic but exhibits a crystal gloss due to its polished finish.

Color-wise, the BaseColor (Albedo) map presents a vivid palette of greens, ranging from saturated malachite green to pale mint tones, faithfully representing the natural pigment variations caused by copper content and mineral impurities. The roughness map is finely tuned to replicate the polished, semi-glossy surface, with slight variations to simulate natural wear and surface imperfections. The height and displacement maps provide realistic depth, enabling enhanced parallax effects in rendering engines. This high-resolution 8K texture is optimized for use in Blender, Unreal Engine, and Unity, ensuring detailed close-ups and seamless tiling in 3D environments.

For practical usage, consider adjusting the UV scale to maintain the natural size of the banded veins and mineral formations, avoiding distortion. When working with roughness, subtle variation can enhance realism by simulating minor surface wear. Blending height and normal maps carefully will help preserve the fine crystal detail and layered depth without exaggerated displacement artifacts. This texture is well suited for applications requiring authentic mineral surfaces, such as architectural visualizations, game assets, and realistic product renders featuring natural stone materials.

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.
