About this asset

This procedural Substance material provides a highly configurable clay roofing tile finish for Substance 3D and other PBR workflows. This procedural material captures the aesthetic of traditional clay roofing tiles with varying levels of weathering and structural decay. The graph allows for precise control over the tile integrity, enabling transitions from pristine, uniform terracotta surfaces to heavily damaged, moss-covered, and fragmented states. Each tile features realistic edge wear and surface imperfections, rendered with depth and texture that accurately simulate aging. The material supports complex PBR outputs, ensuring that light interacts naturally with the irregular surfaces of the broken or mossy tiles, making it an essential asset for architectural visualization.

The download is a 676 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 offers non-destructive editing of material properties. Users can adjust parameters such as moss coverage, tile damage, and weathering intensity directly within their host software to achieve the desired look. The procedural nature ensures seamless tiling across large roof areas without visible patterns or repetition. Simply load the file into the material graph, map it to your roof geometry, and leverage the exposed sliders to fine-tune the appearance for specific project requirements.

These tiles are ideally suited for residential projects, particularly when visualizing heritage buildings, rural cottages, or vernacular architecture. The ability to simulate different stages of decay makes this material particularly useful for restoration studies or atmospheric exterior renderings where a lived-in, authentic feel is required. Professionals can use this for roofing details, chimney stacks, and decorative masonry elements. It pairs effectively with stone or brick wall textures, helping to ground exterior scenes in realistic, weathered detail that enhances the overall architectural narrative of the project.
