This seamless 3D texture in 8K resolution captures a dense starfield enriched with cosmic dust trails and radiant glow effects, designed specifically for PBR workflows. The base composition emulates the ethereal substrate of interstellar space, where microscopic mineral and organic particles float suspended amid stellar winds. These fine dust aggregates form intricate patterns of diffuse cosmic matter, while subtle variations in porosity and particle density add naturalistic depth. The surface finish is a soft, luminous veil that reflects faint light without harsh metallic or glossy highlights, maintaining a balanced roughness that enhances the texture’s realism in diverse lighting conditions.

The material channels are meticulously crafted to maximize versatility and realism: the BaseColor (Albedo) map delivers a clean, flat output with vibrant pigments representing star colors and cosmic dust hues, free from shadows or lighting bias. The Normal map encodes delicate surface undulations that simulate the spatial depth of dust trails and stellar filaments. Roughness values are finely tuned to create a subtle matte finish that diffuses light naturally, avoiding artificial glossiness. The Metallic channel remains minimal to null, reflecting the organic, non-metallic nature of the cosmic environment. Ambient Occlusion highlights the micro-contrasts in dust density and cluster formations, while the Height/Displacement map adds dimensionality, enhancing parallax effects for immersive close-ups.

Designed for seamless tiling, this starfield texture integrates effortlessly into 3D space scenes and cosmic backgrounds, making it ideal for use in Unreal Engine, Blender, and Unity projects. Its 8K resolution ensures crisp detail even on large-scale surfaces or in VR environments, preserving the subtle complexity of stellar dust and radiant glow effects. For optimal results, adjusting the UV scale can help tailor the dust trail frequency to match specific scene requirements, while fine-tuning roughness allows you to control the balance between diffuse and specular reflections, enhancing the immersive quality of the cosmic atmosphere.

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.
