The Synthetic Limestone Texture Seamless high resolution up to 8k offers a meticulously crafted representation of engineered limestone surfaces, combining mineral-based substrates with polymer binders to achieve a durable, uniform composite material. This texture simulates the naturally occurring grain orientation and fine aggregates typical of refined limestone, enhanced by subtle porosity and gentle weathering effects that lend authenticity without compromising the clean, polished finish. Pigments and oxide layers are subtly integrated to replicate the natural coloration and tonal variations found in stone, resulting in a surface that balances matte and semi-gloss elements for a visually engaging material.
In physically based rendering (PBR) workflows, this synthetic limestone texture delivers comprehensive channel data optimized for realism and versatility. The BaseColor/Albedo map captures nuanced stone hues and pigment dispersal, while the Normal map encodes detailed micro-geometry reflecting the grain and slight surface imperfections. Roughness values are carefully tuned to replicate the semi-polished limestone finish, creating believable light scattering without excessive gloss. The Metallic channel remains neutral, reflecting the non-metallic nature of the stone composite. Ambient Occlusion enhances shadow depth in crevices, and Height/Displacement maps provide subtle relief for enhanced parallax effects, perfect for architectural visualization and detailed environment art.
Designed for seamless tiling and up to 8k resolution, this tileable synthetic limestone texture integrates effortlessly into modern 3D pipelines. It is fully compatible with Blender, Unity, and Unreal Engine, ensuring consistent, predictable results across diverse projects, from quick look development to high-fidelity concept prototyping. For optimal results, maintain uniform UV scaling to prevent distortion and adjust roughness parameters to suit lighting conditions, enhancing the natural stone appearance without losing detail. This texture is ideal for large surfaces where clean repetition and high detail are essential, providing a reliable foundation for realistic stone textures in digital materials libraries.
This AI-generated synthetic limestone texture offers a seamless, tileable surface in high resolution up to 8K, providing a realistic PBR appearance with a detailed 3D preview for advanced material composition and design applications.
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.
