About this asset

This polished black metal PBR texture provides a high-gloss, reflective surface finish suitable for architectural visualisation. This polished black metal material features a deep, reflective surface with subtle, fine-line micro-scratches that add realism and visual depth. The finish is highly reflective, mimicking the appearance of treated steel or dark chrome. Its neutral, dark aesthetic is versatile, providing a sleek, modern look that interacts realistically with scene lighting. The texture is designed to be fully tileable in both axes, ensuring consistent surface coverage across large architectural elements such as facade panels, interior cladding, or custom furniture components without visible seams or repetitive patterns.

The download is a 6.8 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.

To implement this material, assign the provided albedo, displacement, normal, roughness, and metalness maps into the corresponding channels of your rendering engine's PBR material node. The 2K resolution is optimised for mid-range shots, balancing visual fidelity with scene performance. Adjust the displacement map intensity to suit the scale of the object, ensuring the micro-scratches are appropriately visible. Use the roughness map to control light dispersion across the surface for accurate reflections in your final render.

Ideal for contemporary interior design and high-end industrial projects, this material is effective for cladding, hardware, and structural elements. It pairs well with concrete, glass, and light-coloured stone to create high-contrast, modern compositions. Professionals will find this useful for detailing luxury retail displays, automotive showrooms, or minimalist residential kitchens. Search for this material when specifying dark, reflective metal surfaces or high-gloss architectural finishes for both interior and exterior digital mock-ups and design presentations.
