Stone Dark Grey Layered Sedimentary Rock Texture

This dark grey layered sedimentary rock texture is a 2K PBR material set, ideal for realistic exterior cladding or rugged terrain surfaces. This material captures the rugged, stratified appearance of sedimentary rock, characterised by distinct horizontal layering and weathered, fractured surfaces. The colour palette shifts between deep charcoal greys and earthy brown undertones, providing a naturalistic depth. The surface profile exhibits significant topographic variation, with sharp edges and deep fissures that suggest geological age and erosion. Supplied as a PBR-ready set, it includes essential maps for albedo, displacement, normal, roughness, and ambient occlusion, ensuring that the physical characteristics of the stone are accurately represented under various lighting conditions in any architectural visualisation project.

The download is a 22.5 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.

Professionals can integrate this texture into rendering workflows by assigning the map set to a standard PBR material node. The displacement map is particularly effective for adding genuine depth to flat geometry, while the normal and roughness maps handle fine-grained surface interaction with light. Ensure proper UV unwrapping to maintain the integrity of the sedimentary layers, and use the ambient occlusion map to enhance shadowing in the deep crevices, which adds significant realism to large-scale landscape or facade applications without increasing polygon counts.
