About this asset

This procedural Substance material provides a versatile painted brick texture for Substance 3D, featuring a realistic running bond. This procedural material reproduces the aesthetic of classic brickwork finished with a layer of paint. The surface exhibits a traditional running bond pattern with subtle variations in mortar depth and brick alignment, characteristic of aged masonry. A key design feature is the inclusion of weathering parameters, ranging from clean, uniform coverage to heavily distressed, chipped paint that reveals the underlying brick texture. The material offers high-fidelity surface detail, including realistic displacement and gloss maps that react dynamically to light, making it suitable for both modern, minimalist interiors and gritty, industrial-style architectural visualisations.

The download is a 440 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 adjust parameters such as paint wear, colour, and mortar thickness directly within the software. Once loaded, the material can be applied to geometry to generate infinite, non-repeating variations, ensuring high-quality results without visible tiling artefacts. Users can export the generated maps for use in standard render engines, maintaining control over roughness, normal, and height channels throughout the design and visualisation workflow.

Ideal for architectural visualisations, this material is well-suited for loft-style apartments, retail spaces, and creative studio environments where a tactile, urban finish is required. It pairs effectively with raw concrete, reclaimed timber, and exposed steel elements to enhance the industrial character of a space. Professionals can utilise this texture for interior feature walls, exterior facade cladding, or as a base layer for more complex environmental assets, making it a reliable choice for conceptual design stages and final high-end render output.
