This 2K PBR texture set features a worn, weathered cardboard surface with visible corrugated paper detailing and surface abrasions. This PBR material set captures the specific aesthetic of distressed, industrial-grade cardboard. The surface displays a distinct vertical corrugation pattern, punctuated by irregular patches of wear where the outer layer has been torn away to reveal the inner fluted structure. The colour palette is dominated by authentic tan and light brown tones, providing a realistic, matte finish suitable for close-up visualisation. The set includes essential maps for albedo, displacement, normal, and roughness, ensuring accurate interaction with light and depth in any rendering environment. The texture is fully tileable, maintaining visual consistency across large surfaces.
The download is a 22.3 MB compressed archive with the texture set at 2K with colour, normal, roughness and displacement maps, ready for any metal/roughness PBR workflow in Blender, 3ds Max, SketchUp, Unreal Engine or D5.
To implement this material, apply the albedo, normal, and roughness maps to your preferred rendering engine's material node. The displacement map should be assigned to a subdivision modifier or displacement node to achieve the physical depth of the torn cardboard sections. Adjust the tiling parameters within your software to match the scale of your geometry, ensuring the seamless repeat functions correctly across complex meshes. This asset is optimised for high-quality architectural visualisation and product design workflows.

This material is ideal for adding realism to industrial scenes, storage warehouse environments, or detailed architectural models requiring packaging elements. It pairs effectively with shipping crates, discarded boxes, or temporary construction site debris. Architects and visualisers will find this asset useful for conveying a sense of lived-in authenticity within interior or exterior renders. Search for this material when populating logistics centres, recycling zones, or workshop spaces where worn, utilitarian surfaces are needed to enhance the narrative of the project.
