About this asset

This 2K PBR water stain decal provides a realistic weathering effect, featuring separate opacity maps for non-destructive layering. Designed as a specialized PBR decal, this asset captures the subtle visual characteristics of a localized water leak or stain. The texture is focused on the organic, irregular runoff pattern typical of liquid marks on vertical surfaces. It includes a complete set of maps: albedo, normal, displacement, roughness, and ambient occlusion, ensuring that the stain interacts correctly with light and surface geometry. The inclusion of a dedicated opacity map allows for precise control over the transparency, enabling the effect to be blended seamlessly into existing wall or facade materials without altering the underlying texture properties.

The download is a 13 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.

To integrate this decal, apply it as a secondary layer within your material graph or using a dedicated decal object in your rendering engine. Use the provided opacity map to mask the surface area, ensuring the stain sits naturally on top of base materials like concrete, plaster, or brick. The 2K resolution is suitable for close-up detail shots, while the PBR channels ensure consistent light interaction across various lighting setups, including HDRI-based environments.

This asset is essential for professionals working on projects requiring a lived-in, weathered aesthetic. It is ideal for adding character to industrial interiors, aged residential facades, or urban environments where signs of wear are necessary for realism. Architects and visualisers can use this to break up repetitive textures on concrete walls or plaster surfaces, creating more authentic architectural renders. It pairs effectively with other grunge assets to simulate long-term exposure to the elements and building maintenance issues in high-fidelity visualisations.
