What's in the PBR pack

Drop these maps into Blender, Unreal or Unity and the surface renders with real depth and shine.

Base colour

The surface's own colour, without light or shadow.

Normal

Records the bumps and creases so a flat surface catches light like a real one.

Roughness

Brighter is more matte; darker is glossier.

About this texture

Bright orange-brown rust covering a steel plate, for weathered steel and industrial ruins.

For a different look, try Brown rust or Rusty steel plate.

Meshy prepared it as seamless 1K–4K JPG and PNG files with a matching PBR pack, free for commercial use under CC0.

How to use it

Connect the metalness map in 3D: bare metal is white, paint and rust are black.
Rust looks best where water collects — use a curvature or AO mask to place it on edges and seams.
Painted metal needs low metalness and medium roughness, even if the base is steel.

About Orange rust

Yes. It is released under CC0: use it in commercial posters, packaging, games and client work, with no attribution and no sign-up.

PBR (physically based rendering) textures describe a surface with several maps instead of one picture: base colour, normal for bumps, roughness for shine and, for metals, metalness. Together they make the surface react to light correctly in any modern renderer.

1K is enough for previews and mobile games, 2K suits most screens and social posts, and 4K is for print at A3 and above or 3D close-ups.

Download the JPG or PNG, drag it onto your image as a new layer, scale it with Free Transform, then set the layer's blend mode to Multiply or Overlay and lower the opacity until it looks right. The same works in Procreate, Clip Studio and Canva.

Unzip the PBR pack, select a Principled BSDF and press Ctrl+Shift+T (Node Wrangler) to load all maps at once. Set normal and roughness to Non-Color, then adjust the mapping scale. You can check the result in our online 3D viewer.

Import the maps into your project. In Unity, assign base colour to Albedo, mark the normal map as Normal Map and put roughness into the material's smoothness slot (inverted). In Unreal, plug each map into the matching input of a material and untick sRGB for normal and roughness.

No. Every texture is seamless: switch on Show seams in the tiled preview above to see the tile edges line up.

Describe the surface to Meshy's AI texture generator and it paints it straight onto your model. Already have a photo? Turn it into a normal map with the free normal map generator.
