Scratched Dark Grey Metal PBR Material

This seamless PBR metal material features a fine scratched dark grey finish, provided as a 2K texture set for rendering engines. This PBR material set delivers a high-fidelity representation of a dark grey metallic surface marked by subtle, multidirectional fine scratches. The visual character suggests a brushed or lightly worn steel, offering a realistic balance between reflective highlights and diffuse absorption. The texture includes albedo, displacement, normal, roughness, and metalness maps, ensuring accurate light interaction across various viewing angles. Its uniform appearance makes it suitable for both large-scale architectural cladding and smaller industrial components, maintaining consistent detail without repetitive patterns or noticeable tiling artefacts that often compromise the realism of high-gloss metal surfaces in architectural renders.

The download is a 6.5 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, load the provided maps into the corresponding slots of your render engine’s standard or PBR shader. The normal and displacement maps should be scaled appropriately to capture the fine surface scratches at close range. Because the texture is tileable, it can be applied to complex geometry or extensive planes without requiring complex UV unwrapping. Adjust the roughness map intensity to fine-tune the highlight spread, ensuring the material responds naturally to your scene's lighting environment.
