About this asset

This 2K PBR grease smear texture provides a realistic, tileable surface imperfection for adding wear and grime to 3D materials. This high-resolution PBR texture map captures the appearance of a viscous yellow grease smear, complete with particulate debris and irregular organic patterns. The design features a high-contrast aesthetic with deep amber and orange-toned staining layered over a translucent base, suitable for simulating kitchen or industrial contamination. The surface details are rendered with a focus on liquid viscosity and varied opacity, allowing for convincing integration into existing material nodes. The asset includes albedo, normal, displacement, and roughness maps, ensuring that the smear interacts accurately with light, shadows, and reflections in a 3D environment.

The download is an 18.6 MB compressed archive with the texture set at 2K with colour, normal, roughness and displacement maps, ready for any metal/roughness PBR workflow in Blender, 3ds Max, SketchUp, Unreal Engine or D5.

To implement this asset, apply the provided map set to the opacity or blend channel of your primary material within your chosen rendering engine. The texture is designed to be tileable, allowing for seamless distribution across large surfaces or precise placement as a decal. Adjust the displacement and normal map intensity within your material editor to fine-tune the depth of the grease buildup, ensuring the physical presence of the stain matches the underlying surface properties of your model.

Use it to enhance the realism of stainless steel surfaces, plastic worktops, or concrete floors. It pairs effectively with other grime and wear assets to break up clean surfaces, making it a valuable tool for designers looking to achieve a lived-in, authentic aesthetic in their digital renderings and 3D scenes.
