Scratches Surface Detail PBR Decal

This 2K PBR scratch decal provides realistic surface wear for digital materials, featuring fine-line abrasions on a transparent map. This high-resolution surface detail map renders intricate, randomised scratch patterns suitable for simulating weathered or aged finishes across various materials. The decal is designed as a transparent PBR asset, allowing users to layer the abrasion data over existing base textures to add depth and realism to objects. It features a complex, non-repeating network of fine lines that effectively break up clean surfaces, providing a naturalistic look for metal, plastic, or painted substrates. The map is delivered with necessary channel data to ensure accurate interaction with light, reflection, and shadow in any standard rendering environment.

The download is a 17.7 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.

Apply this decal as an overlay in your material graph to introduce controlled surface imperfections. By plugging the map into the bump or normal slot, you can create realistic surface relief, while the opacity channel allows for precise blending over base layers. The texture is optimized for 2K output, ensuring sufficient detail for close-up shots while maintaining efficient memory usage during rendering. Adjust the tiling and intensity parameters within your shader editor to match the specific scale and weathering requirements of your project.
