About this asset

This procedural woven metal wire mesh Substance material for Substance 3D offers a highly customisable industrial grid texture. This procedural material reproduces the aesthetic of a standard woven steel wire mesh. The graph defines a crisp, geometric grid pattern with interlocked wire strands, providing a realistic depth and metallic surface response. It is engineered to support PBR workflows, capturing the subtle variations in surface reflectivity and weathering. The material is fully parametric, allowing users to adjust the density of the weave, the thickness of the individual wires, and the level of surface oxidation or rust to suit specific project requirements while maintaining a perfectly tileable output without visible seams.

The download is a 594 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 provides a parametric workflow that enables non-destructive editing of the material properties. Users can modify parameters such as wire gauge, grid scale, and weathering intensity directly within the host software or through supported DCC plugins. The procedural nature ensures that the texture remains sharp at any scale, while the embedded PBR maps facilitate accurate rendering of metallic highlights and shadow occlusion in complex lighting environments.

Ideal for architectural visualisations, this material is well-suited for industrial fencing, security cages, site hoarding, or decorative metal screens in urban design projects. It pairs effectively with concrete, brick, or structural steel elements to reinforce an industrial or brutalist aesthetic. Professionals seeking to add detail to exterior infrastructure or interior industrial-style partitions will find this asset versatile for both close-up shots and wide-angle site renderings, providing a consistent and scalable solution for various metal mesh applications across residential and commercial developments.
