Trampled Sand PBR Texture

This tileable PBR sand texture features trampled, compacted grains and shallow footprints, rendered at 2K for realistic site plans. This photogrammetry-based material captures a 1.5m by 1.5m patch of dry, trampled sand. The surface exhibits a high degree of natural variation, characterised by irregular, compacted grain clusters and scattered, shallow footprints. The texture conveys a dry, dusty quality with subtle tonal shifts between light beige and muted tan. The inclusion of displacement and normal maps provides significant depth, allowing for the simulation of uneven, hard-packed earth in 3D environments. This asset is well-suited for adding realistic surface detail to exterior ground planes without requiring high-poly geometry for every individual indentation.

The download is a 50.9 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.

Professionals can integrate this PBR asset into any 3D workflow by applying the included albedo, roughness, and normal maps to a standard material slot. The texture is designed for seamless tiling over large exterior surfaces. When using software like Blender or glTF-compatible engines, the provided material files allow for immediate setup. Adjusting the displacement map scale is recommended to achieve the desired level of surface relief when rendering close-up shots or ground-level perspectives.
