About this asset
Broad pale streaks run along dark weathered wood, interrupted by narrow splits and uneven worn patches. This asset is a tileable surface texture set for a modeled object; the preview sphere demonstrates the material rather than a supplied scene.
Where this material fits
Try it on reclaimed panels, upright timber details and rustic furniture where directional wear can follow the length of a board.
Align the pale streaks to the timber construction. A ninety-degree mismatch between adjacent pieces is appropriate only where their real grain direction changes.
Included maps and resolutions
- Base Color
- Normal — OpenGL
- Roughness
- Ambient Occlusion
- Height
The listing specifies seamless 4K, 2K and 1K PNG maps. These maps describe color and surface response; visible outlines and large changes in form still depend on the mesh.
Material setup
The furniture wood grain workflow explains the decisions most relevant to this surface. Follow the Blender PBR texture setup when connecting the map channels, then inspect the material at the intended camera distance. Keep the coordinate transforms consistent across all maps.
Compare related materials
Compare the grain, finish and construction scale with Worn Light Wood PBR Texture. Choose the pattern that fits the object rather than using a higher resolution to compensate for unsuitable scale.
