This seamless 8K PBR texture showcases the sharp, elongated spikes of gladiolus flowers, focusing on the intricate surface details of each petal and the subtle color variations that naturally occur across the floral structure. The material composition reflects a delicate, semi-translucent organic substrate typical of fresh flower petals, composed primarily of thin cellulose fibers bound by natural pectins and water content. This combination results in a soft, slightly waxy surface finish that captures light diffusely, enhancing the perception of translucency and depth. The geometric form is characterized by elongated, lanceolate petals arranged in overlapping layers, creating a repeating veined pattern that emphasizes the natural flow and curvature of gladiolus spikes.

The texture’s albedo map accurately reproduces the complex gradients of flower color variations—from creamy whites and soft pinks to deep reds—achieved through layered pigmentation embedded within the petal structure. The normal map highlights fine surface irregularities such as vein ridges and subtle undulations, providing a tactile sense of the petal’s natural roughness and softness. Roughness values are calibrated to represent the semi-matte finish of the petals, balancing light absorption and reflection without metallic sheen, as indicated by a metallic map set to near zero. Ambient occlusion enhances subtle shadows within overlapping petal layers, while the height/displacement map adds dimensionality by simulating the delicate raised veins and edges, crucial for close-up renders.

Designed for high-fidelity workflows in Blender, Unreal Engine, and Unity, this texture is fully tileable, allowing for seamless repetition across large surfaces or detailed closeups without visible seams or distortion. The neutral lighting conditions under which the texture was captured ensure compatibility with various scene illuminations, avoiding baked-in shadows or highlights that could limit its versatility. This makes it suitable for photorealistic 3D flower visualizations, botanical studies, or environmental decorations in virtual production.

For optimal results, it is recommended to fine-tune the UV scale to maintain the natural size of gladiolus petals relative to your 3D model, avoiding unnatural stretching or compression. Adjusting the roughness map can help tailor the petal softness to different lighting scenarios, while blending height and normal maps can enhance the perceived depth and detail of the flower surface, especially in close-up renders where subtle surface features are critical for realism.

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.
