About this asset

This 2K transparent PBR decal features circular drink ring imperfections, ideal for adding realistic wear to surface materials. This surface imperfection map captures the characteristic circular stains left by cups or glasses on various surfaces. The pattern consists of overlapping, faint white rings with varying degrees of clarity and edge definition, suggesting liquid residue or condensation marks. Provided as a high-quality 2K texture, this asset includes the necessary maps for realistic material blending, such as albedo and opacity. The design is intended to break up the uniformity of pristine digital surfaces, providing a subtle, authentic layer of detail that mimics the lived-in quality of actual furniture and tabletops.

The download is a 4.8 MB compressed archive with the texture set at 2K with colour, normal and opacity maps, ready for any metal/roughness PBR workflow in Blender, 3ds Max, SketchUp, Unreal Engine or D5.

Incorporate this decal into your rendering workflow by layering it over existing base materials using a mix shader or composite node. Use the opacity map to drive the transparency, ensuring the rings blend naturally with the underlying roughness and albedo channels. For optimal results, adjust the tiling and rotation parameters within your material editor to prevent repetitive patterns, and consider slightly modifying the contrast to match the specific finish of your target surface, whether matte or high-gloss.

These imperfections are essential for achieving photorealism in interior visualisations, particularly for hospitality and high-end residential projects. Apply these rings to dining tables, bar counters, coffee tables, or nightstands to introduce a sense of human presence and history. They pair effectively with wood, stone, or metal surfaces where liquid spills would naturally occur. Professionals can use these to enhance close-up shots of tabletops or to create subtle, weathered details that ground a scene and prevent it from appearing overly synthetic.
