Compact Earth and Gravel Ground Texture

This seamless PBR ground texture provides a realistic compacted gravel and sandy soil surface for 3D landscape visualisation. This professional-grade PBR texture features a natural, compacted earth surface composed of fine sand and scattered small gravel stones. The colour palette ranges from warm tan to dusty beige, reflecting a dry, weathered appearance suitable for outdoor terrain. The surface detail captures subtle variations in grain size and compaction, providing high-fidelity realism for wide-area ground coverage. Included are essential maps such as albedo, normal, displacement, and roughness, which allow the material to react accurately to environmental lighting and shadows, ensuring a convincing depth and texture when applied to large-scale landscape planes or site models.

The download is a 77.3 MB compressed archive with the texture set at 2K with colour, normal, roughness, ambient occlusion and displacement maps, ready for any metal/roughness PBR workflow in Blender, 3ds Max, SketchUp, Unreal Engine or D5.

To achieve optimal results, apply this PBR texture to a large plane or terrain mesh within your 3D software. Use the provided displacement map to add physical depth to the gravel particles, adjusting the strength based on your camera distance. The tileable nature of the maps allows for seamless repetition across expansive surfaces without visible seams. Ensure your material settings are configured to use the appropriate normal map format, either DirectX or OpenGL, depending on your render engine's specific requirements.
