Weathered Steel Grating PBR Material Set

This seamless 2K PBR material set features weathered steel grating with a square grid, ideal for industrial flooring and catwalks. This PBR material set reproduces the appearance of heavy-duty steel grating, characterised by a regular square grid configuration. The visual finish shows significant signs of age, with dark, worn black paint contrasting against deep patches of oxidation and rust. Its geometric structure provides a high-contrast appearance that works well for structural detailing. The set includes essential maps for albedo, displacement, normal, roughness, opacity, and metalness, allowing for precise control over the surface's reflective properties and physical depth. This combination of realistic weathering and crisp geometry is suited for detailed architectural visualisations requiring authentic industrial materiality.

The download is a 15.3 MB compressed archive with the texture set at 2K with colour, normal, roughness, metalness, displacement and opacity 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 your render engine's shader node editor. Apply the opacity map to define the void spaces of the grating, ensuring the geometry remains transparent where required. Use the displacement map to add physical depth to the steel bars, which is particularly effective for close-up shots. Adjust the normal map intensity to match your scene's lighting, and ensure the tiling is set to avoid repeating patterns over large surfaces.
