About this asset

This dark grey asphalt PBR texture provides a realistic, fine-grained surface finish for exterior ground planes and roads. This asphalt material features a consistent, fine-grained texture with a dark grey to charcoal colour palette. The surface appearance is uniform, mimicking a standard bitumen road finish suitable for high-quality architectural visualisation. It is designed to be fully tileable in both axes, ensuring that large-scale ground planes, car parks, or urban road networks can be mapped without visible repeats or artefacts. The included PBR maps—comprising albedo, displacement, normal, roughness, and ambient occlusion—allow for precise control over the material's interaction with light, depth, and surface reflectivity in any standard rendering engine.

The download is a 29.9 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 use this material, load the provided maps into your software’s material editor, assigning the albedo to the diffuse channel, and the normal and displacement maps to their respective geometry-modifying slots. Adjust the tiling parameters in your host application to suit the scale of the site plan. The roughness map should be connected to the specular or glossiness input to achieve accurate light scattering across the asphalt surface for realistic exterior lighting scenarios.

Ideal for landscape design, urban planning, and civil engineering projects, this texture is essential for rendering realistic road surfaces, pedestrian pathways, and industrial parking lots. It pairs effectively with concrete kerbs, traffic markings, and surrounding vegetation assets to ground building models within their site context. Professionals seeking to enhance site plans or masterplan visualisations will find this asset useful for creating high-fidelity ground finishes that respond correctly to environmental lighting and camera proximity in both daylight and night-time rendering setups.
