About this asset

Captured via photogrammetry, this decal reproduces the distinct tread pattern of heavy construction vehicle tires pressed into damp sand. The texture includes detailed displacement, normal, roughness, and ambient occlusion maps, ensuring high-fidelity interaction with scene lighting. The pattern spans a 1.8m by 0.45m area, offering a realistic scale for site-based visualizations. The surface details show the characteristic compression and edge crumbling typical of heavy machinery movement on loose, moist terrain. Supplied with a separate opacity channel, the decal allows for precise layering over existing ground materials without disrupting underlying terrain geometry.

The download is a 6.5 MB compressed archive with the texture set at 2K with colour, normal, roughness, 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 ground planes by using the opacity map to mask the surrounding area, ensuring seamless integration with underlying terrain shaders. Adjust the displacement map intensity to match the scale of the scene, and utilize the normal map to enhance tread depth under raking light. For optimal results in rendering engines, map the UVs to the specified 1.8m by 0.45m dimensions to maintain accurate real-world proportions and avoid tiling artifacts.

Use this asset to enhance realism in construction site visualizations, urban development planning, or landscape design projects where heavy machinery activity is required. It is ideal for adding narrative detail to site plans, entrance areas, or temporary access paths in residential and industrial environments. Pair this with gravel or mud textures to build a comprehensive site context. Professionals will find this useful when searching for ground grunge, construction site debris, or realistic tire marks to populate site-based 3D environments.
