Rocky Ground PBR Texture — Stone Fragments
Rocky ground PBR texture with broad stone fragments in brown soil. Seamless 1K–4K PNG maps for rugged paths, terrain transitions and outdoor environments.

About this asset#
Broad, angular stone fragments sit within brown granular soil. The larger flat shapes give this rocky terrain a stronger broken pattern than fine gravel alone.
Where this material fits#
Use it on a rough trail, a stony slope or the approach to a rock outcrop. Test the repeat across several tiles before covering a large landscape. Let terrain geometry describe the slope and reserve the maps for smaller surface detail.
Included maps and resolutions#
- Base Color
- Normal — OpenGL
- Roughness
- Ambient Occlusion
- Height
The product listing specifies 4K, 2K and 1K PNG maps with seamless tiling.
Material setup#
Use the texture-resolution guide to compare the surface at the actual terrain viewing distance. The normal-map troubleshooting guide helps distinguish shading detail from relief that needs geometry.
Follow the ground repetition workflow to establish texture coverage, compare path and verge materials and inspect repeated landmarks from the final camera.
Compare related surfaces#
Compare Rocky Ground PBR Texture — Pale Gravel for a lighter gravel pattern, or blend toward Forest Soil PBR Texture — Roots and Moss when the path enters a more root-covered woodland floor.
