About this asset

This 2K PBR decal provides a vertical black liquid leak effect, including albedo, displacement, normal, roughness, and metalness maps. The asset features a distinct vertical drip pattern, simulating liquid residue or staining on a surface. The texture is designed to be highly versatile, capturing the organic, irregular flow of fluid streaks. It includes a complete set of PBR maps, ensuring that the light interaction—specifically the roughness and metalness values—mimics the physical properties of a dried liquid deposit. The separate opacity map allows for precise layering over existing textures, providing a non-destructive way to add weathering without altering the underlying base material. The procedural origin ensures a clean, realistic finish suitable for high-end visualisation.

The download is a 3.6 MB compressed archive with the texture set at 2K with colour, normal, roughness, metalness, 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 material layer or a stencil within your rendering software. Use the provided opacity map in the transparency slot to mask the background, allowing the leak to sit naturally on any substrate. Adjust the displacement map intensity to create subtle depth, and map the normal and roughness channels to ensure the light catches the streak realistically, matching the surrounding environment lighting for a seamless, photorealistic result.

It works effectively in project stages ranging from concept rendering to final visualisations where surface imperfection is required to break up digital perfection. Professionals use these maps to introduce character into sterile environments, such as parking structures, transit hubs, or abandoned interior spaces, effectively simulating the passage of time through realistic environmental wear.
