This seamless 3D PBR texture presents an exquisite mosaic pattern composed primarily of smalti glass tiles interspersed with opal fragments and subtle metallic accents. The base material consists of hand-cut smalti glass, known for its vibrant, opaque coloration and glossy, reflective surface. These glass pieces are embedded into a sturdy cementitious substrate, which serves as the binder and structural foundation, ensuring durability and slight porosity typical of traditional mosaic assemblies. The opal fragments introduce a semi-translucent quality with iridescent color shifts, while the metallic accents—likely fine leaf or foil inlays—add reflective highlights that break the uniformity of the glass and provide visual depth. The geometric layout follows a tightly arranged, irregular tessellation of small rectangular and trapezoidal shapes, creating an intricate inlay pattern that balances uniformity with organic variation.

From a materials perspective, the albedo channel captures the vivid coloration of the smalti glass in deep blues, greens, and occasional warm hues, contrasted by the soft milky opal shards and gleaming metallic surfaces. The normal map emphasizes the subtle relief between the glass tiles and the slightly recessed grout lines, enhancing the perception of depth and physical layering in the mosaic. Roughness values are finely tuned to reflect the polished glass’s glossy finish—low roughness on the smalti and opal surfaces—while the grout and substrate exhibit higher roughness to simulate matte cement texture. The metallic channel isolates the foil accents, ensuring they contribute realistic specular reflections. Ambient occlusion enhances shadowing in the grout recesses and tile edges, and height or displacement maps define the slight elevation differences between tiles and inlay materials, crucial for realistic parallax effects in real-time engines.

Rendered at an ultra-high resolution of 8K, this seamless texture ensures exceptional detail and clarity, suitable for close-up visualizations in Blender, Unreal Engine, and Unity. The texture’s tileable design allows for effortless scaling across large surfaces without visible repetition, making it ideal for premium interior applications such as feature walls, countertops, or decorative panels. The glossy finish highlights the reflective shards and intricate patterning, while the inclusion of opal fragments introduces subtle translucency and color variation that enhances photorealism under diverse lighting conditions.

For practical implementation, it is recommended to carefully adjust the UV scale to match the real-world size of small mosaic tiles, typically around 1 to 2 centimeters per tile, to maintain authenticity. Additionally, tuning the roughness map can help balance reflectivity depending on scene lighting—lower roughness for wet or polished environments, higher for matte finishes. When using the height or displacement maps, blending these with the normal map can achieve enhanced surface detail without excessive geometry, optimizing performance across different platforms.

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.
