Dark Iron Metal

How this texture was made

The metal generator combines a horizontal stretched FBM with a perpendicular fine-detail FBM to produce brushed metal's characteristic directional grain. The coarse stretched layer establishes the visible streaks that catch the light; the perpendicular layer adds the micro-roughness needed for realistic specular scattering.

Dark iron chain mail with heavy wear and deep shadows. Battle-worn armor for dark fantasy and medieval combat scenes.
