This 2K PBR decal provides a realistic grey metal manhole cover texture for exterior site plans and urban infrastructure renders. This PBR decal features a circular, heavy-duty industrial manhole cover design with a distinct diamond-plate texture across its surface. The casting includes structural ribbing and a central lifting slot, with embossed lettering visible on the face. The material response reflects worn, grey metal, showing subtle weathering and surface variations typical of municipal street furniture. The set includes comprehensive maps: albedo, displacement, normal, roughness, opacity, ambient occlusion, and metalness, allowing for precise control over the material's interaction with light and depth within a 3D scene. The circular form is clearly defined for easy placement.
The download is a 19.9 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.
Professionals can apply this decal as a transparent overlay on existing ground planes or road surfaces within their native rendering software. By using the included opacity map in the alpha channel, the manhole cover sits flush against the underlying material without complex geometry. The displacement and normal maps should be layered into the material graph to provide physical depth and surface detail, while the roughness and metalness maps ensure realistic light scattering across the cast iron surface.

Ideal for landscape architecture, civil engineering visualizations, and urban design projects, this decal adds immediate grit and realism to streetscapes, parking lots, and pedestrian zones. It pairs effectively with asphalt, concrete, or cobblestone road materials to break up repetitive textures and ground the scene in a real-world environment. Use this asset to populate site plans, masterplan fly-throughs, or detailed street-level renders where infrastructure details are required to enhance the overall sense of scale and authenticity in exterior masterplanning workflows.
