This seamless 3D texture presents a high-resolution 8K PBR tactile metal plate featuring raised circles on a textured metal sheet, meticulously crafted to simulate industrial wear and surface grit. The base substrate consists of rugged metal with a brushed and slightly oxidized finish, conveying authentic signs of maintenance and subtle corrosion typical of heavy-use environments. Fine metallic oxide layers and embedded dirt particles enhance the realism, contributing to natural variations in color and reflectivity across the BaseColor and Metallic PBR channels. The plate’s surface showcases a carefully balanced porosity and grain orientation, with slight roughness from accumulated grime and wear patterns that are accurately captured in the Roughness and Ambient Occlusion maps, ensuring lifelike depth and shadow interplay.
The raised circular elements are uniformly spaced and modeled to provide effective tactile feedback and anti-skid grip, making the texture ideal for industrial safety applications such as floor plates, tactile paving, and public infrastructure walkways. The Normal and Height/Displacement maps precisely define the circles’ elevation and surface irregularities, enhancing slip resistance and visual fidelity. This continuous, tileable pattern eliminates visible seams, enabling smooth and realistic 3D visualization in Blender, Unreal Engine, and Unity projects. The material’s photorealistic surface finish reflects subtle metallic sheens and micro-scratches, reinforcing its durability and usage in harsh commercial or outdoor conditions.
In practical use, adjusting the UV scale can optimize the balance between detail visibility and performance, while fine-tuning the roughness parameter allows for customizing the shininess and grip effect to match specific environmental lighting. This texture’s seamless design and comprehensive PBR channel integration make it a versatile and reliable choice for creating convincing metal tactile plates with raised circles, enhancing safety and aesthetic quality in digital scenes requiring industrial-grade materials.
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.
