About this asset

This procedural perforated metal grating Substance material for Substance 3D offers a clean, industrial aesthetic for technical surfaces. This procedural material features a uniform, repeating pattern of elongated slots, characteristic of industrial metal grating or safety flooring. The surface exhibits a clean, brushed metallic finish with high-fidelity PBR properties, including realistic light reflection and subtle depth mapping within the perforations. The design is engineered for structural realism, providing an authentic look for catwalks, ventilation grilles, or architectural facades. As a parametric substance, the geometry remains sharp at any scale, ensuring that the slot alignment and metal thickness remain consistent across large surfaces without visible texture repetition or tiling artefacts.

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 the Substance 3D ecosystem, this.sbsar file allows users to dynamically adjust parameters such as slot density, metallic roughness, and surface wear directly within the software or via supported host plugins. The procedural nature of the graph ensures that the material maps correctly to complex UV layouts. Users can export high-resolution texture maps at 2K for use in external rendering engines, maintaining full control over the physical material response under various lighting conditions.

Ideal for industrial, urban, and infrastructure projects, this material is well-suited for walkways, mezzanines, fire escapes, and ventilation screening in both exterior and interior environments. It pairs effectively with raw concrete, structural steel, and weathered brickwork, making it a versatile asset for technical visualisation and architectural rendering. Professionals working on complex BIM models or high-end architectural animations will find this material essential for adding realistic detail to circulation spaces, utility gantries, and modern facade systems requiring high-performance metal textures.
