RubberFree seamless PBR texture
Near-black rubber with a fine raised grid pattern. The pattern is only in the normal and height maps, so the albedo stays flat and dark.

Metallic
White is bare metal. Black is everything else.

Height
Raised areas are white. Feeds displacement and parallax.

Where rubber works
- Gym and playground floors
- Tyres and grips
- Safety mats
Getting it into your engine
- Roblox
- Upload albedo, normal, roughness and metallic, then set them as ColorMap, NormalMap, RoughnessMap and MetalnessMap on a SurfaceAppearance.
- Blender
- Albedo into Base Color. Set the other maps to Non-Color and run the normal through a Normal Map node.
- Unity
- The OpenGL normal works as it is.
- Unreal
- Flip the green channel of the normal map. Unreal expects DirectX.
