Metal textures

Riveted metal panel texture in pastel yellow

In short

Cozy Painted Metal Panels lines up riveted sheets of 1 m × 50 cm in a butter yellow coat, rivets spaced 10 cm along each seam. The layout closes seamlessly at 2 × 2 m, metallic stays at zero, and the CC0 set comes in 2K and 1K.

04About this texture

Think of the side of a toy locomotive or a friendly space station: flat sheets, crisp seams and neat rows of round rivet heads. The rivets rise in the height and normal maps, and the AO map adds a thin shadow along every seam, which reads well even at a distance. A warm yellow coat replaces bare steel, so the panels match platformer kits and pastel vehicles. In the example scene they form a wall behind a jump pad and a checkpoint flag. Hangars, machines, containers and level walls in arcade games are natural uses.

Questions and answers

Can I change the yellow paint colour?

Yes. Rivets, seams and shading live in the normal, AO and roughness maps, so a hue shift on the base colour or a tint in the material gives blue, mint or coral panels with the same detail.

Do the panels line up with the 3D platformer kit?

The example scene shows them with a jump pad and a checkpoint flag from Grab3D, both in the same pastel look. A 2 × 2 m tile also fits the one metre grid of most block based levels.
