This 2K PBR decal provides a realistic vertical water staining effect, featuring separate opacity maps for non-destructive layering. This professional-grade decal replicates the subtle, streaking patterns left by water runoff on building facades. The texture features a vertical gradient that transitions from opaque, heavily deposited mineral staining at the base to a soft, diffused fade towards the top. Its appearance mimics natural weathering, including fine granular details and directional drips typical of long-term exposure to the elements. Designed to be applied over existing concrete, brick, or rendered surfaces, the decal maintains high visual fidelity at 2K resolution, ensuring that the subtle tonal variations remain sharp and authentic in close-up architectural visualisations.
The download is a 4.5 MB compressed archive with the texture set at 2K with colour, normal, roughness, 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 in your material editor using the provided opacity map as a mask. This allows for precise blending over base materials without overwriting underlying surface properties. The displacement and normal maps can be used to add subtle relief to the staining, while the roughness map ensures accurate light interaction. Because it is procedurally generated, the texture can be scaled to fit various wall heights while maintaining a natural, non-repeating appearance.

Ideal for adding realism to exterior elevations, this decal is essential for projects involving industrial warehouses, aged urban infrastructure, or residential buildings with signs of wear. It pairs well with concrete or masonry textures to simulate the effects of rain and environmental degradation over time. Professionals use these assets during the post-production or rendering phase to break up clean surfaces, adding the necessary imperfections that define high-end architectural imagery. It is particularly effective when placed under window sills or along roof edges.
