About this asset

This parametric tactile paving material for Substance 3D provides a highly accurate, tileable surface for wayfinding applications. This tactile paving material features the standard raised stud pattern used for pedestrian wayfinding and safety at transit points. The procedural geometry defines uniform, circular studs arranged in a precise grid, offering a clean, industrial appearance. The material is designed for versatility, with parameters allowing for the adjustment of colour, wear, and surface finish. Available as a.sbsar file, it ensures high-fidelity results without the repetition artifacts associated with standard bitmap textures. Whether applied to bright yellow safety tiles or neutral white variants, the material maintains consistent physical properties across various lighting scenarios.

The download is a 317 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 stud height, grout width, and surface weathering directly within the host software. It is fully compatible with major DCC and CAD platforms that support Substance integration, enabling real-time material iteration. Simply drag and drop the file into your project to generate PBR maps, including diffuse, normal, and roughness, ensuring realistic interaction with scene lighting and environment maps.

This asset is essential for architectural visualisations of public infrastructure, transit hubs, and urban streetscapes where accessibility is a design requirement. It integrates seamlessly into projects focusing on pedestrian safety, such as train station platforms, pedestrian crossings, and public plazas. The material pairs effectively with concrete, asphalt, or granite paving to delineate high-traffic zones. Professionals working on civil engineering or landscape design projects will find this tool useful for adding regulatory-compliant detail to exterior environments, ensuring accurate wayfinding representation in final renders.
