About this asset

This procedural Substance material for Substance 3D provides a realistic weathered soil texture with adjustable moss coverage. This procedural material captures the organic irregularities of natural ground surfaces. It features a base layer of compacted soil with varying levels of surface weathering, pitting, and moisture-rich patches. The material is defined by its realistic displacement capabilities and intricate surface detail, which includes integrated moss growth that can be modulated for different levels of decay or biological coverage. The colour palette moves through earthy browns, muted greys, and organic greens, offering a versatile foundation for exterior environments, ranging from damp forest floors to dry, eroded urban pathways or weathered garden beds.

The download is a 3.5 MB file containing a Substance (.sbsar) material that opens in Substance 3D Player, Sampler and Painter and in renderers with Substance support.

As a compiled.sbsar file, this material is designed for non-destructive workflows within Substance 3D or compatible host software. Users can adjust parameters such as moss density, soil compaction, and surface roughness directly within the graph to achieve specific visual targets without needing to re-import assets. The procedural nature ensures the texture remains tileable across large landscape surfaces, eliminating visible repetition while maintaining 2K resolution fidelity across complex geometry in architectural scenes.

Ideal for exterior architectural visualisations, this material is well-suited for site plans, landscape design, and immersive environmental rendering. It pairs effectively with stone paving, gravel pathways, or concrete retaining walls in residential and urban park projects. Professionals looking for high-fidelity ground cover will find this asset useful when populating masterplan models or detailed garden close-ups. Search for this material when specifying natural ground finishes, organic site surfacing, or weathered outdoor textures that require a high degree of control over environmental aging.
