About this asset

This procedural corrugated steel Substance material for Substance 3D offers fully adjustable weathering and colour parameters. This procedural material reproduces the appearance of industrial corrugated steel cladding. The base structure features uniform vertical ribs with subtle fastener point detailing along the ridges. The Substance graph allows for comprehensive customisation, enabling users to adjust the level of oxidation, surface paint wear, and colouration. The material can transition from a pristine, factory-finished painted surface to a heavily weathered, rusted state, providing significant versatility for architectural visualisation. Its procedural nature ensures that the pattern remains consistent across large surfaces, effectively mimicking the structural rhythm of standard metal roofing or exterior wall panels.

The download is a 471 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 the Substance 3D ecosystem, this.sbsar file functions as a parametric graph. Users can adjust sliders to modify the intensity of rust, the specific colour of the paint finish, and the overall surface degradation in real-time. Once the desired look is achieved, the material can be exported as PBR map sets for use in any standard render engine or game engine that supports metallic-roughness workflows, ensuring consistent lighting responses.

This material is ideal for industrial design projects, warehouse exterior cladding, or modern residential metal roofing systems. It is particularly effective for adding realistic age and character to urban environments, container architecture, or utility structures. Professionals can use it to quickly iterate between clean modern aesthetics and distressed, aged appearances without needing to swap textures. It pairs well with concrete, glass, and steel structural elements, providing a robust, authentic finish for architectural renders requiring high-detail, non-repeating metal surfaces.
