About this asset

This dark grey brushed metal PBR texture set provides a realistic, tileable surface finish for high-end architectural rendering. This PBR material features a dark charcoal-grey tone with a subtle, fine-brushed directional grain. The surface exhibits a sophisticated satin finish, balancing soft specular highlights with deep, muted reflections characteristic of high-quality industrial steel. The texture is designed to capture the interplay of light across a brushed metallic surface, offering a realistic depth and tactile quality suitable for architectural visualization. Included in the set are essential maps to drive albedo, displacement, normal, roughness, and metalness, ensuring accurate light interaction and surface detail when applied to complex forms or flat architectural panels.

The download is a 13.4 MB compressed archive with the texture set at 2K with colour, normal, roughness, metalness and displacement maps, ready for any metal/roughness PBR workflow in Blender, 3ds Max, SketchUp, Unreal Engine or D5.

Load these 2K maps into your software’s material editor to create a physically accurate shader. Map the albedo to the diffuse channel, and connect the roughness and metalness maps to their respective inputs to define the surface reflectivity. The normal map should be set to tangent space to simulate the fine brushed texture without increasing geometry count. For close-up shots, apply the displacement map with subtle intensity to add real-world depth to the metal surface.

Ideal for modern interior and exterior design projects, this material is well-suited for kitchen cabinetry, elevator cladding, furniture detailing, and high-tech equipment casings. It pairs effectively with natural timber or raw concrete to introduce a refined industrial aesthetic. Professionals can use this texture in residential or commercial schemes where a sleek, durable metallic surface is required. Search for this asset when detailing contemporary hardware, custom metal joinery, or minimalist facade elements that demand a clean, professional, and highly realistic finish.
