About this asset

This parametric Substance 3D material features a high-fidelity checkerboard marble pattern, suitable for varied interior surfaces. This procedural material delivers a precise checkerboard layout, defined by alternating light and dark marble tiles. The surface finish mimics polished stone, with subtle veining visible across the individual tile faces. Because it is a parametric graph, the scale, grout width, and colour variations can be adjusted dynamically within the Substance environment. The material includes integrated PBR maps, ensuring accurate light reflection and surface depth when applied to floors or wall panels. Its logical, grid-based geometry provides a clean aesthetic that works across both traditional and contemporary design schemes.

The download is a 297 KB file containing a Substance (.sbsar) material that opens in Substance 3D Player, Sampler and Painter and in renderers with Substance support.

Designed for use within Substance 3D, this.sbsar file allows users to procedurally generate textures directly within their rendering pipeline. By importing the file into a host application, you can manipulate parameters such as grout colour, tile size, and surface glossiness without needing to swap image maps. This workflow ensures seamless tiling across large surfaces, eliminating repetitive visual artifacts and providing a flexible, non-destructive approach to material application in complex 3D architectural scenes.

Ideal for high-end residential foyers, luxury hospitality bathrooms, and retail boutique flooring, this marble checkerboard adds a classic yet sharp geometric foundation to any space. It pairs effectively with minimalist furniture or ornate, traditional fixtures depending on the chosen colour contrast. Architects and visualisers will find it particularly useful for rapid iteration during the design development stage, where adjusting the scale of flooring patterns is often required to achieve the correct visual balance in interior renderings.
