About this asset

This seamless PBR texture of an excavated soil wall provides a high-fidelity representation of dry, compacted earth for 3D environments. Captured from a real-world site, this PBR material set displays the raw, rugged texture of excavated soil. The surface is defined by deep, parallel mechanical grooves and uneven, compacted earth clumps, characteristic of heavy construction activity. Its colour palette transitions through warm earthy browns and tans, creating a naturalistic, granular appearance. The set includes essential PBR maps—albedo, ambient occlusion, displacement, normal (both DirectX and OpenGL formats), and a packed ARM map—ensuring that the complex surface topography and subtle light interactions are accurately preserved across any 3D rendering platform or engine.

The download is a 73.1 MB compressed archive with the texture set at 2K with colour, normal, roughness, ambient occlusion and displacement maps, ready for any metal/roughness PBR workflow in Blender, 3ds Max, SketchUp, Unreal Engine or D5.

Professionals can integrate this material by applying the provided maps to a base plane or mesh. Use the displacement map to achieve realistic depth in the soil crevices, while the normal maps handle finer surface details. The inclusion of ready-to-use material files simplifies the setup process in standard 3D software. For optimal results, ensure the UV mapping is scaled to the native 2.00 by 2.00 metre dimensions to maintain the physical integrity of the scanned earth surface.

This asset is essential for landscape design, construction site visualisation, and industrial environment modelling. It works effectively for depicting earthworks, trenching, or open-cut excavations in BIM and architectural renders. Architects and visualisers will find it useful when building realistic site contexts or civil engineering project presentations. Pair this texture with site machinery or temporary fencing assets to enhance the narrative of an active building project. Search for this material when needing realistic ground surfaces, dirt textures, or construction site base layers.
