Circular Cast Iron Manhole Cover Decal

This circular cast iron manhole cover PBR decal provides a 2K resolution texture set for realistic urban ground detailing. This circular manhole cover decal features a weathered cast iron aesthetic with a distinct geometric pattern and embossed markings. The design includes radial ribs and central recessed lifting points, typical of heavy-duty municipal utility covers. The surface exhibits realistic signs of wear, including subtle oxidation and varied tonal depth within the metal texture. It comes as a comprehensive PBR map set, including albedo, displacement, normal, roughness, opacity, ambient occlusion, and metalness channels. The separate opacity map ensures precise masking, allowing for clean integration onto existing pavement, asphalt, or concrete surfaces without affecting the underlying material properties.

The download is a 20.8 MB compressed archive with the texture set at 2K with colour, normal, roughness, metalness, ambient occlusion, displacement and opacity maps, ready for any metal/roughness PBR workflow in Blender, 3ds Max, SketchUp, Unreal Engine or D5.

Apply this decal to your scene by projecting it onto a flat plane or existing site model using your rendering software’s decal or material layering system. Use the included opacity map to define the circular boundary, ensuring the surrounding surface remains visible. The displacement and normal maps provide depth to the embossed iron details, while the roughness and metalness maps ensure accurate light interaction. For best results in exterior visualisations, align the texture scale to match standard real-world manhole dimensions.
