This seamless 3D PBR texture features a scratched plastic surface characterized by a complex interplay of paint chips, dust particles, and grime buildup, all captured in an 8K resolution that ensures fine detail and sharpness. The base material is a semi-gloss plastic substrate, exhibiting subtle plastic grain and slight surface porosity where environmental wear has taken its toll. The plastic itself is coated with multiple layers of paint, some of which have chipped away due to mechanical abrasion and weather exposure, revealing the darker plastic beneath. Fine dust particles and grime accumulate in crevices and along edges, enhancing the realistic aging effect. The overall geometric form is predominantly flat but interrupted by irregular patches of chipped paint and shallow scratches, creating a tactile surface with visible depth and variation.
From a material composition standpoint, the texture simulates a plastic polymer base bound with synthetic resin binders responsible for the glossy finish beneath the paint layers. The paint layers use pigmented coatings that have partially faded and bled into one another, reflecting prolonged UV exposure and chemical degradation. These pigments contribute to the subtle color bleeding effect visible around the chipped areas, where the clean base color transitions into muted, worn hues. Surface roughness varies significantly across the texture: the scratched and scuffed regions show increased roughness and matte patches, while less worn areas retain moderate glossiness. Grime and dust are represented with a fine particulate overlay that affects the ambient occlusion and height channels, adding micro-variation and enhancing perceived depth and realism.
Technically, this texture leverages PBR channels to maximize material fidelity. The BaseColor map encodes the faded paint with subtle color shifts, while the Normal map captures the micro-scratches, chipped edges, and dust layering to convey surface irregularities under dynamic lighting. The Roughness map differentiates glossy plastic from scuffed, matte areas, controlling light reflection and diffusion. The Metallic channel remains near zero, reflecting the non-metallic nature of plastic and paint. Ambient Occlusion enhances shadowing in crevices and chipped zones, increasing visual depth. Height or Displacement maps provide subtle relief for the paint chips and grime, allowing for enhanced parallax effects and realistic silhouette variation when used in supported engines.
This texture is optimized for use in Blender, Unreal Engine, and Unity, ensuring compatibility and ease of integration into a wide range of 3D workflows. Its 8K resolution allows for close-up inspection without loss of detail, ideal for high-fidelity renders or real-time applications requiring photorealistic weathered surfaces. When applying this texture, it is recommended to carefully adjust the UV scale to balance detail density with performance, especially on large assets. Additionally, fine-tuning the roughness channel can help emphasize or soften the worn effect depending on lighting conditions, while blending height and normal maps can produce more convincing depth and tactile variation for enhanced realism in scenes.
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.
