About this asset

This procedural Substance material for Substance 3D provides a highly customisable, tileable riveted metal plate surface texture. This procedural material generates a realistic riveted metal plate surface, featuring a modular grid layout with visible fastener detailing. The shader includes advanced weathering parameters, allowing for transitions between clean, brushed steel finishes and heavily oxidised, rusted surfaces. The texture exhibits subtle surface irregularities, including scratches, grime accumulation, and uneven patinas that contribute to a convincing industrial aesthetic. Because it is a parametric graph, the scale of the plate pattern and the intensity of the corrosion can be adjusted dynamically, ensuring visual consistency across large-scale assets without repetitive tiling artefacts.

The download is a 963 KB file containing a Substance (.sbsar) material that opens in Substance 3D Player, Sampler and Painter and in renderers with Substance support.

As an.sbsar file, this material is designed for seamless integration into Substance 3D Designer or Painter. Users can load the file into the library to access exposed parameters for real-time control over rust density, plate colour, and surface roughness. The PBR-ready outputs ensure consistent lighting response across various render engines, enabling efficient material layering and blending on complex geometry without needing external map imports.

This asset is essential for industrial, urban, and brutalist design projects where weathered steel cladding or heavy-duty flooring is required. It is ideal for visualising container structures, warehouse interiors, or decaying urban environments in architectural renders. Professionals can use this to quickly add realism to metal components in high-end visualisations, pairing it with concrete or exposed brick textures to achieve a raw, authentic aesthetic. It supports both exterior facade detailing and interior industrial elements, providing a versatile solution for aged metal surfaces.
