Grey Compacted Sand PBR Material

This 2K PBR texture set provides a realistic, tileable surface of compacted grey sand, suitable for architectural visualisation. This PBR material captures the fine, uniform grain of a compacted sand surface, often seen in pedestrian pathways or site-work areas. The texture exhibits a neutral grey tone with subtle variations in particle density, suggesting a stable, worked-over ground plane. Its surface character is defined by a low-profile, gritty topography that avoids large debris, maintaining a clean and professional appearance. The included map set ensures that both diffuse colour and micro-surface details, such as roughness and displacement, react accurately to light, making it a reliable choice for ground-plane rendering across various environmental conditions.

The download is a 79.6 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 into rendering engines by mapping the provided albedo, displacement, and normal files to the corresponding material channels. The 2.10m tiling scale allows for quick application across large exterior ground planes without visible repetition. Users should adjust the displacement intensity to suit the desired level of surface depth, while the inclusion of both DirectX and OpenGL normal maps ensures compatibility with standard 3D software pipelines for consistent lighting results.
