This high-quality seamless fabric texture is specifically designed for chair upholstery applications, crafted to replicate the intricate woven composition of textile materials. The base substrate is an organic polymer fiber matrix, tightly interlaced with fine natural and synthetic fibers to create a durable yet breathable surface. The fabric’s structure features a subtle grain orientation that enhances tactile realism, while a combination of natural binders and synthetic adhesives ensures long-lasting cohesion and resilience against wear. The porosity of the material allows for slight air permeability, contributing to comfort in real-world use. Surface finish is matte with a soft, slightly brushed appearance, achieved through microscopic fiber shearing and gentle dyeing processes incorporating high-quality pigments to provide consistent, fade-resistant coloration without metallic reflections.

In the physically based rendering (PBR) workflow, this textile texture excels by accurately representing material properties across all relevant channels. The BaseColor (Albedo) map captures the fabric’s true color and subtle tonal variations influenced by the dye pigments and fiber orientation. The Normal map simulates the fine weave pattern and fiber bumps, adding realistic depth and tactile detail without geometry complexity. Roughness is calibrated to reflect the soft matte finish, avoiding glossiness while ensuring natural light scattering across the surface. The Metallic channel remains black, as fabric is non-metallic by nature. Ambient Occlusion enhances the perception of weave depth and inter-fiber shadows, while the Height or Displacement map provides subtle relief to emphasize texture contours for close-up renders, enhancing realism especially in high-resolution scenes.

Rendered at an impressive 8K resolution, this fabric texture is optimized for seamless tiling and is fully compatible with popular 3D engines such as Blender, Unreal Engine, and Unity. This ensures crisp detail retention even on large surfaces and close camera views. For practical application, it is recommended to adjust the UV scale to match the chair model’s proportions, preventing the weave pattern from appearing unnaturally large or small. Additionally, fine-tuning roughness values within your shader can adapt the fabric’s appearance from slightly worn to freshly upholstered, allowing for versatile visual storytelling depending on scene requirements. This texture provides an excellent foundation for realistic chair materials, merging advanced material science with artistic fidelity to elevate any 3D environment.

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.
